We aim to provide stability and security for young women in Kampala because we believe in helping them move forward. In Uganda, education is all private, and many of our beneficiaries cannot afford the US$50 per year tuition. By helping to fund their education and providing them with school supplies, we aim to instill hope and structure to these young women’s lives. We fear that without such a foundation, our beneficiaries would turn towards child marriage. These damaging unions traditionally result in higher rates of sexual violence, HIV/AIDS transmission, maternal mortality, influent mortality, mental health issues, and domestic violence; according to to a 2005 UNICEF study, 36% of child brides in Uganda thought it was acceptable for their husbands to beat them. By providing a more consistent schedule and life skills through our projects, we hope that we can help our beneficiaries improve their mental health and confidence, give them more structure in their lives, and help them build a bridge out of poverty. Thank you in advance for your generous support of our projects. We are a small, brand-new organization and we work closely alongside these young women every single day. Our beneficiaries will know about your support, and it will mean a lot to them. We look forward to welcoming you to our community. — Griffin Wong Fundraising and Marketing Director, Forward Pass Foundation Uganda https://www.forwardpassfoundationuganda.org/mutual-love-education-fund daily 0.75 2020-09-18 https://www.forwardpassfoundationuganda.org/fire-gates-netball-club daily 0.75 2020-11-02 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ea2074f1c9c5f742000c045/t/5eafc6c52c604f1a74c94f53/1588577994637/IMG_2290.jpg Fire Gates Netball Club BEFORE: During the early days of the Fire Gates Netball Club, we did not have the money to buy proper uniforms for our athletes. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ea2074f1c9c5f742000c045/t/5eafc6d52c604f1a74c95027/1588578011378/Netball+w+Jerseys.jpeg Fire Gates Netball Club AFTER: With some of the first money we received through donations, we bought our much-needed jerseys! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ea2074f1c9c5f742000c045/t/5f64c50232c8bb3f5988f900/1600439561694/37a46745-ec7c-445f-a3e9-706a9b68f2b0.JPG Fire Gates Netball Club https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ea2074f1c9c5f742000c045/t/5f64c4eca16f2a7aae212464/1600439655909/3581745a-0ce7-4879-b644-f4dd2de80962.JPG Fire Gates Netball Club Our Founder, Daniel Buyinza, recently led a kids’ clinic at a field in Kiteezi, Kizingiza Zone.

Playing such a collaborative sport will inspire our students to work hard, trust each other and themselves, and provide the structure necessary to keep them in school. Additionally, they can meet other inspiring girls from around the city and country through our matches against rival squads. https://www.forwardpassfoundationuganda.org/our-team daily 0.75 2020-11-02 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ea2074f1c9c5f742000c045/t/5eba561c6d0cf6792a5efbaf/1589270050988/daniel+for+website.jpeg Our Team - DANIEL BUYINZA Tobias Keene, D.D.S.
