of\u00a0<\/i><i>Tomorrow<\/i> as a platform to translate film-based advocacy into direct action. The campaign seeks to mobilize resources, amplify community voices, and protect vulnerable girls from harmful cultural practices by promoting access to education and safeguarding their rights.<\/p><p>The <b>#IamMtetezi Campaign<\/b> aims to raise awareness and mobilize resources to promote girls\u2019 education and ensure that girls like Faith can access and remain in school. Beyond individual support, we seeks to ensure that the film reaches as many audiences as possible using storytelling to create awareness, spark community dialogue, and act as a powerful conversation starter on Women\u2019s rights, FGM, Harmful Practices and access to education.<\/p><p>So far, through collective support, we have successfully raised funds to enable Faith\u2019s twin sister who had never attended school to join her sibling in school. She is scheduled to enroll after 1st term mid-term, with full support for school fees, uniforms, boarding requirements, and accelerated learning to help her transition.<\/p><p>We believe that by rallying continued support, we can expand this effort and admit more vulnerable girls into school protecting them from harmful practices and securing their right to education.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f08e1ec e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f08e1ec\"
