CSI's legacy program – SAFI College in Nalugala, Entebbe (0pened March 12, 2023) is CSI's first vocational school to educate and empower women, adolescent girls and youth forced to drop out of the traditional school system yet still have big dreams. Literacy, financial security, and financial independence are fundamental social determinants of health to achieve improved health, education, economic, and social outcomes for individuals, families, communities, and societies.
|
To reduce unnecessary maternal and infant morbidity and mortality, sustainable programs are key to shift traditional perspectives pertaining to women and girls. Women's economic empowerment begins with recognizing girls' right to education and women have the right to safe spaces to learn, acquire basic skills, and be supported to achieve financial independence to meet their day-to-day needs and those of their children and loved ones.
|
Women's economic empowerment drives efforts to reduce gender-based violence, mental health disorders, change attitudes towards girls' education, and elevate the social status of women and girls, disrupting vicious cycles of poverty and powerlessness. Through SAFI College, women, adolescent girls, and youth will have the opportunity to live to their full potential contributing to national and global goals for peace and prosperity.
