International Day of a Girl Child:

On October 12th, the girls at SHF celebrated International Day of a Girl Child! This day celebrates and recognizes the rights of girls and the unique challenges girls face worldwide. The Imara Girls Festival, which is a campaign that celebrates the roles and contributions of women and girls in advancing development at all levels, hosted the event. The girls had so much fun and did not want to leave until late in the night!

New SHF Site

Set Her Free has identified a new site in the suburbs of Kampala! This training center, located in the suburbs, trains 20 girls in vocational skills. The site is very new, having one room rented and turned into a space to complete the training. Set Her Free would like to provide shelter for their children while they are training in the future! We look forward to seeing this site continue to grow!
