Empowered to Learn, Inspired to Lead: Oliver’s Story

Oliver, a member of the Fear the Lord Female Group in Agago District, enrolled for a Certificate in Early Childhood Education after previously losing hope of continuing her education due to lack of funds for Advanced Level studies. Through the ADRA Young Mothers’ group, she received SRHR education, counselling and support that strengthened her self-confidence, self-respect and motivation to pursue her goals.

After receiving her group savings, Oliver invested in her education and enrolled at Patongo Teacher Training Institute. She currently combines her studies with part-time teaching at a nursery school. Oliver has become a positive role model among her peers, encouraging other young mothers not to give up despite challenges. She continues to participate in her CBO and save regularly, demonstrating increased agency, resilience and commitment to improving her future.
