Many girls and women are victims of forced marriage, violence, and sexual abuse. Teenage mothers who leave home are excluded from school and society. This problem affects nearly half of all girls.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>

The Nwoya Girls Academy serves 450 underage mothers and their children and gives them a perspective on their future. It is the only boarding school in the district. In addition to being a safe place, the young women receive academic training (primary school catch-up, then secondary school) and vocational training (hotel management, sewing, hairdressing, cooking).<\/p>\n
A small hotel belonging to the project aims to give the students direct access to practical work while contributing to the financial independence of the project. In addition, the school has 44 hectares of cultivable land that it uses for its own food needs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>
