Concern for the Girl Child

Discussion on the role of men in supporting women x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

As we prepare for the #GoodDeedsDay2026 celebrations, we are reminded that youth is not just a phase of life but a powerful opportunity to create impact, shape communities and leave a legacy of kindness and purpose. This year’s theme, “The Power of Young People in Building a World of Doing Good,” challenges each of us to step up, show up and give back. Whether it’s through small acts of kindness or big community initiatives, every good deed counts. Let us come together not just to celebrate, but to act: 📌Give what you can 📌Share what you have 📌Be the change you want to see When young people choose to use their time wisely, communities grow stronger, futures become brighter and the world becomes better. Join us and be part of something meaningful. #DoingGoodTogether

Our Stakeholders’ Meeting is happening this Week. It’s a moment to reflect on our work, strengthen partnerships, and explore how we can do more for the girl child. We are honored to host @MucunguziJackso, who will share key tools for protecting adolescents. #Partnerships

Happy International Women’s Day to all the remarkable women and girls making a difference every day. #WomensDay2026 #WomensHistoryMonth

Our Keep a Girl in School donation boxes are now in 3 @FraineSupermar1 branches (Ntinda, Kira & Gayaza). Every coin helps provide menstrual hygiene support so girls don’t miss school. Thank you, Fraine, for standing with girls. And thank you to every shopper who gives.

Help CGC build the Hayes Vocational Learning Centre on GoFundMe, and it would mean a lot if you’d be able to share or donate to it. So far, $2,998 has been raised. Our target is $50K. We invite you to continue supporting this dream to reality. gofund.me/65d1f31f8

They also toured the division, gaining a practical understanding of how justice is administered and the important work carried out by the court. Creating access to mentorship & career guidance remains essential in nurturing confident & informed girls ready to lead. @JudiciaryUG

A highlight of the visit was a mentorship and career guidance conversation with the Head of Division, Hon. Dr. Justice Bashaija K. Andrew. The girls gained insight into the discipline, commitment, and responsibility required in the legal profession. @JudiciaryUG

What a meaningful way to begin the school term. 🧵 Six CGC girls visited the International Crimes Division for a career exposure experience in the legal field. @JudiciaryUG

A new school year begins in Uganda today. For learners across the country, it’s a fresh start and a shared responsibility. Progress in education comes when we invest in teachers, infrastructure, and learning environments that respect every child’s dignity. #backtoschool

A home visit in Luwero gave our team the chance to meet families of girls we support, understand their home realities, and discuss ways to keep them in school. Working closely with families helps us respond with practical support that keeps girls learning. #GirlChildEmpowerment

We launched the CGC Big Sisters Mentorship Programme to strengthen employability skills, leadership potential, & career confidence among young women. We already have 17 mentors signed up & are working toward our Cohort One target of 30 mentors. Join us in shaping futures. #Mentor

A girl rarely drops out of school because she lacks ability. She drops out because of circumstances. CGC supports girls with education, mentorship, & life-skills so they can stay in school & build HER future. Be part of her story. Partner with CGC concernforgirlchild.org

Concern for the Girl Child works so that vulnerable girls are not left to navigate inequality alone. Education, safety, dignity, and partnership sit at the centre of our work. #mission #Partnership #HappyNewYear

Our Finance Manager, underscores a simple truth: GBV response needs real funding. When resources support shelters, legal aid, survivor care, & prevention, women and girls gain safety and a path forward. Strong budgets build strong communities. #16DaysOfActivism #HumanRightsDay

Economic empowerment must come with safety. When Ugandan girls face harassment, image misuse, or extortion online, their progress is interrupted. #16DaysOfActivism might be ending today, but the work continues. #EndGBV

During these #16DaysOfActivism, we urge partners and donors to increase funding for GBV case management and survivor support. When financial help is available, survivors are not held back by circumstance. Stand with women and girls not only in words, but through tangible support.

Reporting #GBV in Uganda often stops at the point of disclosure. Cases freeze. Families step back. Institutions delay. Safe reporting must lead to action. Today might be the last day of #16DaysOfActivism2025 , but not the last day of the work. #HumanRightsDay2025 #EndGBV

Dear cultural leaders, Culture should shelter its people, not wound them. When tradition turns harmful, we have a duty to confront it. Let’s stand together to end practices that silence and endanger our girls and women. #16DaysOfActivism2025 #EndGBV #ProtectOurGirls
