Gender Equity Creative Advocacy Practicums (CAP)
Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda
Girls in the Sauti ya Dada program have the opportunity to participate in a CAP. Leveraging the problem-solving skills gained from their training, the girls analyze the root cause of an issue that is a barrier to girls’ education - such as teen pregnancy, environmental pollution, or early marriage - brainstorm solutions, and use storytelling, theater, or visual art as an advocacy tool to explain the issue to key stakeholders within their community.
