Key Information

Educate! is continually building our gender expertise. We are currently working to pilot changes that will prepare us to develop a best-in-class, organization-wide girls empowerment strategy that we can implement and improve as we grow, in Uganda and beyond. This includes both research to identify what is working as well as our gender equity-related challenges. We aim to continue to scale the impact of our program while strengthening its gender equity components.
