UNITED GIRLS FOUNDATION

My name is Denise Tugume, founder of United Girls’ Foundation (UGF), a community-driven organization committed to empowering vulnerable girls and young women through education, mentorship, menstrual health support, leadership training, and life-changing opportunities. I started UGF because I witnessed how many girls in rural communities are forced to miss school, lose confidence, and give up on their dreams due to poverty, lack of scholastic materials, poor menstrual hygiene support, and limited guidance. Many girls simply need someone to believe in them and give them a chance. We are currently raising funds to launch our Girls Empowerment Clubs in schools, provide educational and menstrual hygiene materials, organize mentorship programs, and create safe spaces where girls can learn, grow, and thrive. The funds raised will help us: - Provide scholastic materials and hygiene kits to vulnerable girls - Support community outreach and empowerment activities - Facilitate mentorship, leadership, and life-skills programs - Launch and sustain UGF school clubs - Cover transport, logistics, and operational costs Every contribution, no matter how small, helps us move one step closer to changing a girl’s life and creating stronger communities. At United Girls’ Foundation, we believe one empowered girl can transform generations. “She Matters.”
