Director's Story

By Gift Tumwebaze, Project Director

Hi, my name is Gift Tumwebaze and I am a 25-year-old female Ugandan. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, majoring in Human Resource Management.
I am very passionate about advocating for girls’ rights because girls today are growing up in a world filled with opportunities, yet they continue to face barriers that limit their full potential.

My Background
Having lost my parents at a very young age, I was raised by my Aunties. I went to a government-founded elementary school where I completed my P7.
On many occasions, I worked as a casual labourer in people’s farms and gardens to raise money to sustain my school needs—such as uniforms, books, and simple clothing.
Being young, I was underpaid most of the time. On other incidents, my hard work was exchanged for just a plate of food. I missed so many classes simply because I could not afford the school equipment needed to stay in school.
While other girls were able to concentrate on their education and dreams, I was constantly worried about how I would get the basic needs I needed to continue learning.
