Parents, teachers, and communities must work together to promote positive discipline and protect children from violence. #EndViolenceAgainstChildren

As out-of-school girls, teenage mothers step into the real world, they face irregular income, debt traps, and tough business decisions. Through the Girls Empowerment Initiative, FICH conducted a one-day training session on Financial Literacy, Marketing, and Customer Care. We’re currently empowering 40 girls with hands-on skills in tailoring and hairdressing, while equipping them with the knowledge to save wisely, avoid debt, attract customers, and grow their businesses. This combination is preparing them to face the world with confidence and real economic power, giving them a much better chance at life. The program is also running in 3 other #FICH_GRIC Uganda partner organisations. #GirlEmpowerment #FinancialLiteracy

#FICH_GRICUg Partners are gathered at Graceville Comfort Hotel in Lira City for a three-day residential training on Result Documentation, Tracking, Reporting, and Data Visualisation. The partners are Arua Youth Development Initiative(AYDI), Community Focus International (CFI) and Development Path for Community Transformation (DEPCOT). This training aims to strengthen our data management systems and empower partners to effectively communicate the reach and genuine impacts of our community interventions with data-driven evidence. Patrick Ocen, GRIC Uganda Programme Coordinator, noted: We have been doing a lot as partners, but we sometimes face challenges translating this work and sharing our intervention, outcomes, and impacts with the world.” #DataForImpact #FICHCapacityBuilding
