FAWEU in partnership with Uganda Golf Club-Ladies Section

FAWEU strives to build partnership with the private sector and individuals as a tool for resource mobilization, advocacy and strengthened network for promotion and support to girls’ education. 

In 2007 during the 10 years celebration, FAWEU in conjunction with the Uganda Lady Golfers initiated a fundraising golf tournament to mobilize resources in support of girl child education in Uganda. A number of private partners were mobilized to sponsor a team of two and the response was positive.  As a result the proceeds from the mobilization for the golf tournament supported 10 needy girls to access secondary school education. Following the success of the event and the noble cause it addressed, the Uganda Golf Club – Ladies section pledged to have the tournament as an annual event to solicit for support from the corporate companies towards promotion of girls’ education.

In 2009, a similar event was organized by FAWEU in partnership with Uganda Lady Golfers. This time the game was strategically organized to take place on 8^th March 2009, in celebration of women’s day whose theme was ‘increasing investment in girls’ education for development’. The main objective of the activity, however, was to raise funds to support education of girls at higher level while strengthening network with the corporate companies. The event was successful completed with sponsorship from over 30 companies.
