Babiyre - Education Support
BABIYRE
Supporting access to formal eduction for a child facing financial hardships and limited opportunity.
HER STORY
Babiyre is a 13-year-old girl living with her mother and two younger brothers near the Nile in Jinja, Uganda. Following the death of her father, the family has faced ongoing financial hardship, relying on irregular farm work that is often insufficient to meet basic needs.
As a result, the household frequently experienced food insecurity, and Babiyre had not been able to attend school due to the inability to afford school fees, uniforms, and learning materials.
At the time of initial intervention, she had no access to formal education, limiting her opportunities for long-term development and stability.
Support was initiated to remove these barriers and enable her to begin school for the first time.

OUTCOME & IMPACT.
Babiyre successfully commenced formal education in early 2026, marking a significant milestone given her previous lack of access to schooling. Removing the financial barriers to enrolment has allowed her to participate consistently in education, supported by the provision of uniforms, materials, and ongoing fee assistance.
Initial food support also contributed to improved short-term stability within the household, helping ease the transition into school. With continued support, Babiyre now has access to opportunities that were previously out of reach, creating a pathway toward improved long-term outcomes and reduced vulnerability.
