Educate a Girl
Education is a critical determinant of health, economic stability, and long-term well-being.
​
Prakasa fundraises to support girls in rural Uganda to attend school by covering tuition, learning materials, and basic needs that often prevent continued enrollment. This approach recognizes that educational access is shaped not by ability or motivation, but by structural and economic barriers.
To date, we have supported 16 girls to remain in school, strengthening pathways to educational attainment, leadership, and long-term stability.
​
Research consistently shows that when girls are able to complete their education, the benefits extend beyond individual outcomes — improving health, economic security, and opportunity across families and communities.
Create a Future
Economic security is central to women’s autonomy, safety, and well-being.
​
Through sewing training, entrepreneurship education, and personal empowerment skills, Prakasa supports women in building practical pathways to income generation and financial self-sufficiency.
These programs are designed to reduce dependence on unsafe or exploitative environments while increasing women’s control over resources and decision-making.
Women who complete the program are supported to:
-
Establish their own small businesses
-
Secure employment in local tailoring shops
-
Engage in flexible, home-based income-generating work
Access to income increases choice. Increased choice strengthens agency, safety, and dignity.
This work contributes to improved well-being for women, greater stability for their children, and long-term positive impacts within communities.
Write HER Story
Narrative and voice are central to social change.
​
Write HER Story centres women’s voices through writing, photography, and shared storytelling, recognizing lived experience as a form of knowledge and leadership.
​​
Stories are not mediated through external interpretation. They are authored by women themselves, in their own words.
When women reclaim narrative authority, they challenge dominant representations and expand how their lives, contributions, and leadership are understood.
