Transforming Lives, One Youth at a Time: Godfrey’s Journey with a PVAC Out-of-School Youth Club
According to UNICEF (n.d), only 1 out of every 4 Ugandans, begins and completes their secondary education. Six out of ten of these Ugandans do not finish their secondary education due to costs associated with education. Godfrey, 22, is one of the several Ugandans who make up this statistic. He is now a peer mentor of an out-of-school youth club in Luweero, Central Uganda overseen by the Luweero VAC Cluster and supported by Children’s Rights and Violence Prevention Fund’s, Prevention of Violence Against Children & Young People (PVAC) grant. We recently sat down with him to learn about how the out-of-school youth club has impacted his life.
