INTRODUCTION

UYDT Girls School aims at developing a pool of value driven, educated female leaders who are committed to take up

transformational roles. The students learn to become socio-economic change makers in their homes and communities and get

prepared for leadership positions while at school, in their homes and communities. UYDT Girls School continued to implement

the 2-generations approach where the students and their parents/guardians learn together. This has enhanced household

cooperation as parents see the girls as valuable resource persons.

Students have enhanced their skills in: leadership, communication, agribusiness, writing, analysis and academics. At home

level there has been improved income, nutrition and team work. Students have also influenced the communities through the

youth venture programme, radio programs, Girls Education Movement outreaches, essay writing and external debates.

A healthy mind and body is very productive and therefore health is one of the key areas of attention in a transforming home. Focus has been put on hygiene, sanitation and good nutrition. The families are sensitised to have adequate sanitary facilities like a permanent house, kitchen, drying rack, animal house, clean & safe water, clean compound, two rubbish pits for plastics and another one for degradable materials and store food in granaries. In order to have good nutrition the families are empowered to have a balanced diet with qualitative & quantitative food and be in position to have breakfast, lunch and supper consistently. They are also encouraged to put in place kitchen garden to supplement on the food staffs as shown is the photo above. Food security is achieved, if adequate food (quantity, quality, safety) is available in homes, accessible and satisfactorily utilized by all individuals at all times to live a healthy and happy life. Food Security is also achieved when it is ensured that “all people, at all times, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food which meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active healthy life and adequate nutritional status in terms of protein, energy, vitamins, and minerals for all household members at all times. The school encourages homes to preserve food so that it takes homes through the season of drought. In this way parents are encouraged to put up granary where crops can be kept for at least three months. Availability is achieved if adequate food is readily there for every family member to have. Access is ensured when all households and all individuals within those households have sufficient resources to obtain appropriate foods (through production and purchase) for a nutritious diet. Adequate utilization refers to the ability of the human body to ingest and metabolize food. Nutritious and safe diets, an adequate biological and social environment, a proper health care to avoid diseases ensure adequate utilization of food. In most cases, utilization is only discussed from a biological perspective. The tables below show details of meals taken and food security. Table 2: Meals taken daily

3 ACHIEVEMENT AT COMMUNITY LEVEL

3.1 DEMOCRATIC PRACTICES AND GOOD GOVERNANCE INCREASED

3.1.1 Participation in leadership positions

The students participated freely in prefectorial elections by democratically electing their leaders. Prefects played different roles in

organising their fellow students and ensuring that all school programmes are implemented and other routine work done. Other

students also endeavoured to take up situational leadership when need arose.

Similarly, the parents played their leadership roles in their groups formed in different communities as per sub-county/zone. 03 groups were added onto the 15 existing groups making a total of 18 groups

3.1.2 Consciousness on the importance of girl child education and health increased

The school organised 36 radio programs through partnership with the Community Radio station to educate the rural listeners

on a broad range of topics. The listeners who called in appreciated the importance of Child retention in school, the relationship

between Health and home development, how to prevent HIV and AIDS. Also as a result, the participating students developed

confidence and ability to generate ideas and related actions concerning the different topics to over 1.5 million listeners. Also

it enabled students and listeners to gain knowledge and skills on how to identify and handle different forms of sickness

especially where there is no doctor. It also enhanced girl child retention in school.

3.2 COMMUNITIES ARE PEACEFUL AND USE THE VISIONARY APPROACH

performance and how UYDT GS Alumnae Association can be sustained. The current students were inspired to continue with

their studies and complete the education cycles and later join the association of the school. The Alumnae pledged to continue

being in touch with the school to offer guidance and counselling to the current students.

3.2.2 Community sensitization through popular theatre enhanced

MDD students during community sensitization students sensitizing the community through popular

theatre

The school managed to reach 5000 people in 10 villages of 10 sub counties to understand the linkage between sanitation,

hygiene and prosperity. This was through popular theatre community sensitization that was based on the theme: “Health,

sanitation, and hygiene spurring prosperity at household and community levels”. The theme was developed based on research

which indicated that, prosperity at household and community level is highly influenced by health, sanitation and hygiene

14

related issues. The homes with poor sanitation and hygiene are affected by mobility and unproductivity which hinders

transformation.

The community members were mobilized through radio announcements, church and mosque announcements, posters and face to face contacts with the local leaders. All those enabled many rural people to attend and participate in community sensitization programme. After the edutainment, the students engaged the audience in a discussion about what they have learnt from the performance and what they intend do differently.

4 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The year 2017 has been productive as the school achieved more than 90% of the planned results. The students performed well academically and good progress has been registered in their back home projects. They gained more confidence and ably express their views at school and in their homes. UYDT Girls School appreciates all individual friends and partners who have contributed towards the results achieved in the year 2017. In particular we acknowledge, KF, KIO, Mustard seed. The funds facilitated the creation of results in four areas: student development, home development, community development and management and administration. The school management requests UYDT to seek support for the following:

Buying of the school bus to enable movement of students for field activities in the academic area, sports and popular

theatre for community sensitization. The School bus is currently in a poor mechanical condition and cannot move yet

it is very expensive to hire from other schools or local transport companies.

The school also has a vision for constructing a staff house to enable staff have adequate quality time with students after classes and guide them to become better change makers. We therefore request for some funding to meet this vision so that the teacher spend more time with students to strengthen performance.

There are plans to increase its own sources to generate income from coffee, bananas , maize, vegetables and fruits which farm enterprises double as training ground for pupils/students and parents to boost their back home projects.

The school plans to upgrade the ICT laboratory to a modern standard with a capacity of thirty students, a lap top for the trainer in an air conditioned room to protect computers from intermittent breakdowns. More financial support is also needed in this department to enable students have adequate practice.

There is also need to extend piped water to the demonstration farms for irrigation during the dry season to enable continuous farming and supply of nutritious food to the students. Currently the seasons are unreliable which causes delays in preparing gardens and planting crops. This will also strengthen demonstration of modern ways of farming to our parents and community members.

UYDT GS looks forward to a productive 2018 and invites our partners to continue supporting us to achieve our goals.

APPENDIX 2: TESTIMONIES

1. Name: Asiimwe Jane Class: P.7 I joined UYDT Girls School in 2013 in P.5. I came from an economically disadvantaged home with a semi – permanent house, poor health, poor nutrition and sanitation. After participating in the visionary orientation workshop, I identified my purpose in life. I AND MY FAMILY WANT TO BE HEALTHY AND HAPPY. This vision has enabled me and other family members to work for the development of our home. We have managed to construct a permanent house, good sanitation through putting in place sanitary facilities like permanent latrine, bathroom, good drying rack, rubbish pit and cleaning of our house and compound regularly. We have good nutrition through having a balanced diet and boiling drinking water. We care and immunize children and this has helped us to be healthy. We grow enough quality and quantitative food. We also grow vegetables in our kitchen gardens like egg plants, African spinach and onions. We grow fruits like pine apples and practice bee keeping at home. We have a cow and 2 goats on free range system. In my back home projects on top of food crops, we grow bananas, beans, Irish potatoes and maize for sale. We have coffee and sugarcanes on a large scale that bring income to the family, this income helps us to purchase other items that we do not grow at home and support my sisters in their respective schools. All this has been possible through application of knowledge and skills acquired from the two generations approach at URDT Girls School.
