CGC at a Glance
At Concern for the Girl Child, we are dedicated to breaking barriers and fostering a brighter tomorrow for the girls in Uganda. Join us in empowering, educating, and uplifting the next generation of leaders. Here’s a glance of what we have done and continue to do across our different core program areas.
EDUCATION SUPPORT PROGRAM
1,315 Girls Supported under Education support program
Since 2001, CGC has provided support to a total of 1,315 girls through its education support program, with 49.2% (647 girls) from Luweero district, 31.7% (417) from Nakaseke district, and 19.1% (251 girls) from Kampala district.
Education Completion Rates Since 2001
Among the 1,315 girls supported, 66.8% completed their studies, earning certificates in various fields, 12.1% achieved degrees, 4% obtained diplomas, and 3.4% were supported up to S.4, as per the original program design. The remaining 13.5% are currently continuing with their education.
Employment Status for the last 2 years
Over the past two years, among those who completed their education between 2022 and 2023, 63% are currently employed, 13% are self-employed, and 24% are actively seeking employment. In our commitment to assist those currently without jobs, in 2023, we entered into a partnership with Sourcing to provide university-educated girls with the necessary skills for a smooth transition into the workforce.
Retention rate at 98% for the year 2023
The retention rates have demonstrated a positive trend over the last two years. In 2022, our retention rate was 96%, reflecting a 4% decrease. This decline was further mitigated, reducing to only 2% in 2023. Consequently, the retention rate for the current year, 2023, has risen to an impressive 98%, underscoring a notable improvement when comparing the retention figures from the two years.
