About 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.
“Kaleke Kasome” is a Luganda expression that can be directly translated as “Let the child stay in school”. In 2005, an incisive song of the same name popularized the idea of allowing girls to stay in school, instead of condemning them to the implications of underage sex, early marriages, and teen pregnancies.
Founded in 2014, the Kaleke Kasome Foundation was built on the same pillar as a commitment to advocate for the rights of children through sensitization of parents, guardians and communities. KAKAF highlights the unique challenges of the girl child, and views knowledge and skills as an important conduit to contribute towards the health and holistic development of all children everywhere to reach their full potentials.
