Grand Opening of CSI Uganda SAFI College for Women, Girls, and Youth
Where: Entebbe, Wakiso District, Uganda
It is no longer sufficient to motivate women, youth, and girls out of school to get an education or acquire skills to become financially independent if barriers still exist in traditional and vocational schools. Celebrating eight years of impacting lives across Wakiso District, meeting with community members, building trust with community leaders, speaking with women and girls, uplifting youth, and figuring out what true community needs exist, CSI Uganda is taking action— by establishing a Center for Women, Girls, and Youth to provide basic women's health services and vocational skills education. We anticipate an estimated 200 women and youth per year will benefit from health and educational services that will provided at CSI Uganda SAFI College. You're welcome to support CSI's legacy initiative to advance the well-being of women, girls, and families by making a donation here. All generous contributions and donations received will be recognized and donor names will be listed on the Legacy ChangeMakers Wall at the Center. #CSIUgandaSafiCenter #WomenandGirls #CSIImpactingLives #CSICares #CSI2021 #SAFICollege

Menstrual Hygiene Day
Where: Somalia, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda
The Childbirth Survival International Team will join the global health, national, and local communities to increase awareness for people to better understand the lack of menstrual hygiene facilities, products, information, and services not only hinders women and girls, but everyone. Through CSI's educational and interactive Girl Talk, Girl Power program, we address "taboo" topics including menstruation, gender-based violence, teenage pregnancies, and more. On Menstrual Hygiene Day, the goal is to reach girls and all levels of influence to increase and improve access to safe spaces, hygiene products, and water for women and girls to use during their monthly periods. #MenstruationMatters #GirlTalkGirlPower #LetGirlsLearn

International Youth Day
Where: Global
CSI is dedicated to the health, development, and well-being of adolescents and youth especially in underserved communities. CSI's work in Uganda and Tanzania with youth especially girls aims to reduce maternal-newborn deaths and disabilities, HIV and sexually transmitted infections, teenage pregnancies, and forced school dropouts due to menstrual hygiene challenges. Limited access to resources and opportunities has increased poverty in young people and stalled progress to achieving local, national, and global goals. It is clear that when adolescents and youth are healthy, educated, informed, and thriving, they will be empowered to build stronger, peaceful, and productive communities and nations. #KeepingYouthHAI #KeepingYouthHealthyAliveInformed #GirlTalkGirlPower #CSISafina #YouthDay #Youth4Peace #YouthVoices

International Day of the Girl Child
Where: Somalia, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda
In order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, girls have to be part of this ambitious journey. Addressing gender inequity, health disparities, societal and deeply-rooted cultural "norms" by educating and empowering girls is the first step to breaking the barriers for girls. CSI marks this day with great energy building on previous years of work with adolescent girls in Tanzania and Uganda. #SDGs #CSI2021
