Who we are
Kaleke Kasome Foundation
The Kaleke Kasome Foundation (KAKAF) is a not-for-profit organization that strives to empower communities through strengthening mechanisms of ending sexual and gender-based violence against children and promoting their rights.
This rampant vice has been responsible for teenage pregnancy, early marriage, and school dropouts, as well as related physical, social and psychological effects on the victims of SGBV among girls and young women.
Our Core Program Areas
Adolescent girls, in particular face multiple vulnerabilities. According to Ministry of Health, 25 per cent of Ugandan teenagers become pregnant by the age of 19 and close to half are married before their18th birthday. Adolescent girls are severely and unevenly at risk of HIV infection, dropping out of school as a result of unwanted pregnancies and early marriages.
Livelihood & Community Empowerment. In 2019/2020, 20.3 percent of the population of Uganda is estimated to be poor, of whom nearly 85 percent is rural population. In other words, one in five people are living below the official national poverty line. Worth noting is that of 20.3 percent, 41.8 percent are food poor – that is unable to have a minimum income to meet the food needs.
Ensuring that all girls and young women receive quality education is a human right, however, everyday girls are faced with barriers that hinder their attainment of education which are caused by poverty, negative cultural norms and practices (i.e., child marriages), faced with violence and fragility.
