Adolescent Girls & Young Women Empowerment

Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW) Empowerment Program

Kitovu Mobile limited has implemented the Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW) empowerment program since 2016. The program aims at strengthening the most vulnerable and most at risk Adolescent Girls and Young women aged 09-24.

By strengthening the Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYWS), the program seeks to achieve the accelerated HIV/AIDS epidemic control among the population.

OBJECTIVE:

Empower AGYWS and to reduce their risk to HIV and violence

Through the AGYW empowerment program, Kitovu Mobile has been able to;

  • Scale up on partner service provision and this has helped us to engage males into our programming.
  • Train a total of 280 AGYWS in Hair dressing, bakery and tailoring in Kyotera and Rakai districts. These were also supported to develop business skills before completion and were given start up packages.
  • AGYWS have been sensitized more about GBV thus can now openly talk about the vice.
  • keep girls in school by providing school fees and providing scholastic materials,
