The Difference We're Making 85+% of the funds we raise support our programs. We strive to be a very lean organization, keeping our operating expenses to less than 15%. See previous years' expenses here. 80% of our graduates are earning an income, supporting themselves and their families. Only 3% of our female students (4 of 155) have become pregnant. (Teen pregnancy rate in Uganda is 25% for general population, 72% among the poorest girls). |
