Executive Summary Right Path recognizes that marginalized children face numerous challenges, including poverty, discrimination, and lack of access to basic services such as education and healthcare. To address these challenges, the organization implements a multifaceted approach that includes advocacy, community mobilization, capacity building, and service delivery.

For this reporting period, Right paths has worked closely with local communities, government agencies, and other stakeholders to identify and address the needs of marginalized children. In addition to the above, Right Path has also been involved in policy advocacy and programs that promote the rights and well-being of children and capacity of communities to support children and their families.

For this year, the organization has provided direct services to children including education (Early Childhood Development), menstrual hygiene management products and services, psychosocial support and water, sanitation, and hygiene.

Right path recognizes that children need safe and supportive environments to thrive, and thus works to provide holistic services that address both the physical and emotional needs of children.

Overall, Right Path is committed to creating a world where all children are able to reach their full potential and live a life free from violence, discrimination, and poverty. The organization’s approach is grounded in a deep understanding of the challenges faced by marginalized children, and a belief that change is possible through collaboration and community engagement.

HOPE, PROTECT & EMPOWER Right Path is a child rights organization whose interventions address the normalized violations among marginalized children by creating supportive environments that enable every child to live a dignified life.

We advocate for a society in which children are safe and supported to grow to their full potential. Our interventions enable children to find their identity and meaning through connection to their community and the natural world. This is made possible through sharing of lessons and experiences that further increases evidence-based programming and enhances holistic care, and protection, the ability to lead meaningful lives and increase access to quality social services within a supportive community The Right Path further employs a rights-based approach in programming to ensure meaningful and systematic inclusion and empowerment of the marginalized. Core to this is identifying and utilizing the potential and strengths of the community so as to be self-sufficient through establishing mutual support clusters that receive modest capacitybuilding sessions from Right path and community-based child protection mechanisms. In addition, our mandate lies in partnerships and collaborations because the involvement of various key stakeholders provides a thorough grass-root understanding of the critical problems and possible solutions since the nature of the vulnerability of children is multi-faceted.

Executive Summary

Right Path Reach

After the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of households in the under-resourced settings of Imanyiro in Mayuge district, Kitivo, Makenke, Sakabusolo (KIMASA), and Kimaka at the river banks in Jinja’s northern division struggled for better livelihoods due to the solid economic effects of the Covid 19 pandemic, to the extent, that majority of the multi-age children failed to return back to school due to a lack of educational materials, while for the Girl child the inadequacy of menstrual hygiene items and safe spaces where they can manage menstruation without embarrassment or stigmatization.

Right Path Restored HOPE in these communities through the provision of food rations to households in tough situations, built capacity for the early years’ teachers on how to promote play-based learning and also availed the children with educational materials, conducted menstrual hygiene management sessions for the adolescent girls and women, where they learned how to make re-usable sanitary wear using local materials and here we also involved the boys such that they too can impact the lives of their female siblings in the neighboring schools or at home. In addition, the marginalized adolescent girls and women, each received a Right Path menstrual hygiene kit which encompassed; a bucket, reusable sanitary pads, a small towel, and a bar of soap. This approach was mainly because of the taboos associated with menstruation which ultimately have led to reduced levels of confidence and active involvement in school.

Children’s development occurs in stages and development is a function of both maturation and learning. Subsequently, if the environment limits opportunities for learning, children will be unable to realize their full potential.

As Right Path, we call upon businesses, corporations, and individuals in the developed world to create social change in the global community by bridging the gap such that children can enjoy being children in the supportive communities they call home.

We thank every one of our devotees for walking the journey of letting children enjoy their childhood as we transformed under-resourced settings.

Right Path Annual Report | 2022

Right Path’s Reach According to UNICEF, most children in Uganda have experienced physical violence that threatens and halts their holistic and positive development, 59% of girls and 68 % of boys.

Gender-Based Violence and sexual violence are also prevalent, with some 35 % of girls and 17 % of boys have experienced sexual violence during childhood while 1 in 4 teenage girls are either pregnant or have a child.

It comprises 11 districts which include Bugiri, Bugweri, Buyende, Iganga, Jinja, Kaliro, Kamuli, Luuka, Mayuge, Namayingo, and Namutumba. All of them contribute to poor social services and socioeconomic outcomes compared to the other regions in Uganda.

The region is surrounded by large water bodies, Lake Kyoga in the north and L. Victoria in the south. The water bodies make it a unique habitat for many folk communities known to be highly vulnerable and marginalized. They also live in poor hygiene conditions which negatively affects their lives because of some of the toughest situations they go through.

Executive Summary

BusogaRegion

It’s also a national hotbed of sugarcane plantations and factories with many unskilled migrant workers with high turnover rates. As a result of the above factors, the region has widespread GBV; 46.3% of women report physical violence, yet children, adolescent girls, and young women are the most affected.

There are high levels of poverty with over 42% of the population living below the poverty line (about $1.9/day; the third-highest in Uganda), with pockets of severe food insecurity.

Teenage pregnancy The region also has a high teenage pregnancy rate of 25% compared to the 24% national average. Subsequently, the regional fertility rate is higher than the national average at 6.9 children per woman. Other burdens in the region include poverty, unemployment, food insecurity, poor ECD facilities, high maternal mortality, unqualified ECD caregivers, inadequate menstrual hygiene management service providers, malnutrition, poor WASH facilities, etc.

The most affected subpopulations due to the above challenges are children, adolescents, and women. Hence, their morbidity and mortality rates are higher compared to the adult population. Therefore, there is a need for Right Path to prioritize and focus on improving access to quality social services (health, nutrition, education, and psychosocial support) using a multi-sectoral and collaborative approach.

This clearly defines our theory of change i.e. in creating positive change in under-resourced settings in some of the toughest situations.

Teenage pregnancy rate of 25% compared to the 24% national average.

TRANSFORMING COMMUNITIES The inkling behind Right Path’s external support is primarily to supplement and not replace the family’s own efforts and resources in caring for the marginalized children. Through this journey of transforming communities and letting children enjoy being children, the community participates in identifying those on the margins of society, delivering interventions, monitoring, and assessing our five pathways of change.

Child rights Aiding social transformation through two programmatic priorities.

Child Protection and Rights Campaigns - children are guaranteed their rights to enjoy being children through their ‘voices’ as well as being involved in creating solutions.

Community Restoration Centres – these double as counseling spaces for marginalized children as well as provide a conducive and loving environment that draws them closer to school as well as assists them to deal with post-traumatic stress.

Education Involves promoting Early Childhood Development (ECD) through play-based learning and awakening innovation among teachers, Centre managers, and the community at large by opening their eyes to resources in their surroundings to be converted into learning aids.

ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT: ➡ Established, built capacity, and equipped the Girlcare

club of Kimasa Primary school with menstrual hygiene management knowledge. In schools, there was usually a lack of physiological education while at home; advice (traditionally given by aunts and grandmothers) is often insufficient. So Right Path was compelled to bridge that gap that exists in limited knowledge about the biological process of menstruation among girls and women. A total of 575 marginalized girls and community women benefited from our menstrual hygiene kit which included a bucket, reusable sanitary pads, a small towel, and a bar of soap.

➡ Psychologically supported, build capacity and worked

towards awakening innovation of the early years’ teachers of Kimasa nursery by opening their eyes to resources in their surroundings and showing them how they can be converted into learning aids.

➡ Provided educational materials to the 150 early years children of Kimasa nursery which included books, pencils, colors, and chalk.

➡ Provided the boys of Kimasa primary school with some

sports equipment, as well as sensitized the entire school on good health and survival behaviors like washing hands this was accompanied by 20 liters of liquid soap and toiletry.

Executive Summary

Right Path Reach

➡ Provided food rations to 50 households in the toughest

situations due to the solid economic effects of the Covid 19 pandemic. As well as provided clothes and blankets to 100 child and single-mother households who were greatly hit by the Covid 19 pandemic.

➡ Delivered 7 community awareness trainings on issues

including; meeting children’s needs and fostering development, menstrual hygiene, and management, gender-based violence, and child protection.

➡ The water crisis is huge and access to clean water plays

a crucial role in combating poverty. Under-resourced settings in Uganda search long distances and rely on open-source surface water for drinking, cooking, washing, and everyday living. So we carried out 3 sensitizations to both schools and communities as we wait for funding so as to increase access to safe water and influence sustainable development for the beneficiaries we serve.

Provided food rations to 50 households in the toughest situations due to the solid economic effects of the Covid 19 pandemic.

Achievements ➡ Our play-based learning approach for the early years

helped 180 little ones of the lower primary find meaning in their surrounding that were getting more and more unpredictable at Kimasa Primary. Through this approach, children’s imagination safely explored areas that were difficult to talk about initially.

➡ We established and trained a Girlcare club at Kimasa primary school, the club was mainly to influence mindset change among fellow girls on issues related to menstrual hygiene management.

➡ Right Path spread awareness around Menstrual Hygiene

Management (MHM) in both schools and the communities.

They provided the established Kimasa primary Girlcare club with sustainable and equitable access to appropriate Menstrual Hygiene Management products which 380 school-going girls and 195 community women benefited from, this created a supportive environment where they can manage menstruation without embarrassment or stigma.

Children at Risk Action Network is a network of 156 local faith-based organizations working with children at risk in Uganda.

CRANE members collaborate together to help keep children safe.

➡ Two of our staff members took part in a 3-day residential

training workshop on Trauma healing among children, that was organized by Global Hands of Hope (GHOH) Ministries with facilitators from TRAUMA FREE WORLD, a US-based organization. The key reason for the workshop was post-training on-the-job technical assistance to organizational staff, to integrate learning into their day-to-day work and complete agreed upon tools or documents.
