Our second movement fundraiser is a virtual 5K in honor of the women and young girls who walk miles to collect water for their domestic chores. In addition to taking on other caregiving roles, they have to work and go to school. In most cases, the girls end up dropping out of school altogether. The least that we can do is find ways to make their school life easier. This starts with our porridge program which provides free breakfast.

Maskne is the skin irritation, pimples and blackheads on your cheeks, chin, and around your mouth. The difference between regular acne and “maskne” is that it is a result of the face coverings. The masks cause breakouts due to the combination of friction, heat, moisture and clogged pores.

The Porridge Program is created to promote nutrition in especially primary schools in rural areas. Too many children are learning on empty stomachs and still have to take the same National Exams taken by those who have the privilege to have their basic needs met.

One of EarlyBird256’s missions is to create a safe space where girls are confident in their bodies and voices. We do this through encouraging movement, such as in dance and sports workshops, which are supported by our fundraising efforts. We also collaborate with squad members who have businesses and passions that align with our mission.

Reasons why we love the Crested Crane. In addition to being the National bird of Uganda, The Crested Crane is our number one bird of choice because it embodies the essence of the safe space that we are manifesting for the girls.
