You’ll see their world through their own eyes and their colorful illustrations. Safira, Lydia, Ruth, Grace, Judith, Atwooki, Stellah, Ceophus, Zam, Faridah, Joyce, Grace, Sylvia, Natasha, Immaculate, Anna Mary, Rosemary, Sarah, Doreen, Mary Joyce, Hilda, Rebecca, Hannah, Rebecca, Ruth, Jane, Gertrude, Dinnah, and Noeline write about their “Back Home” projects. They show you how they taught their parents, their brothers and sisters, and their communities how to improve sanitation and nutrition, reduce domestic violence, and to earn more money!
By the time each of these girls graduates from the URDT Girls’ School, their families’ homes have become role model farms in their communities, and, these girls and their parents have become community leaders and respected change agents!
What’s behind the incredible success of this rural boarding school is the brilliant structure that makes it “The Path of Least Resistance” for families and villages to systemically improve their living conditions, empowered by their daughters—young women who would normally be marginalized in their culture.
The bound, printed soft cover version of this 112-page colorful picture book is available for sale for $100. $75 of that is a charitable donation which goes directly to URDT Girls School through the African Food and Peace Foundation, which is a registered U.S. nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization whose sole purpose is to support URDT and the African Rural University for Women. You will receive a receipt for the $75 contribution.
If you prefer to download the PDF from our Web site to read online or to print yourself, it’s available for $25. Those proceeds will also go directly to the URDT Girls School through AFPF, and you’ll receive a receipt for your donation.
This is a great book to use for a book club, a scout troop, or a class of school children. If you’d like to make arrangements for an affordable group purchase that will still support the URDT Girls School in Uganda, please contact me directly at [email protected].
