Advocacy and Outreach
ACWPS council members are accomplished speakers, writers, and leaders in their fields. We work collaboratively so that we can advise wisely. We hold roundtable discussions to engage a range of experts, bringing them together with policy makers and civil society.

Girls Education and Empowerment
The two classrooms at Alao Primary School in Northern Uganda lost their rooves during a hailstorm in 2021. ACWPS partnered with eleven Alao Girls, “the Roofraisers,” to help get back to school and avoid early marriage and sexual violence–an all too common fate for girls who drop out. This is the only public school for 1500 students. Thanks to ACWPS donors, we put the roof back on one of the two classrooms and the girls and their classmates went back to school in January 2022 after two years. But there is no room for desks or teachers. The second building must be completely rebuilt. Please be generous and let’s keep this project going!
