Kaleke Kasome Foundation
The Kaleke Kasome Foundation (KAKAF) is a not-for-profit organisation 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 girl child stay in school”. In 2005, an incisive song composed and sung by our very own founder and director, Mr Mahasa Maurice (aka Hasa), popularised the idea of allowing girls to stay in school, instead of condemning them to the implications of underage sex, early marriages, and teen pregnancies.
