Mission and programs · 2025

• The Adolescent Girls Program (AGP) is GUIUs flagship program which empowers in-school adolescent girls to be leaders, reach their full educational potentials and make healthy and informed choices. Program services include: year-long life skills, leadership and sexual health trainings; school scholarships; teachers trainings; parents meetings; advocacy events and counseling and emergency support. In 2025 the AGP was active in Kampala and Bukedea Districts with 1,833 girls graduating from the program and 511 girls supported with scholarships to stay in school. The Big Sisters Network is a continuation of the AGP for graduating girls to ensure alumni stay involved and engaged as girl leaders and mentors. In 2025, GUIU held its Big Sisters Camp for 300 emerging girl leaders. Guided by the theme Unstoppable Me, the camp strengthened girls courage, voice and leadership identity.

• The Boy Champions Project (BCP) reaches in-school adolescent boys with critical knowledge and information to challenge deeply-held gender normative attitudes and beliefs and improve their knowledge around sexual and reproductive health and rights and gender-based violence. The project was designed based on evidence proving that in order to end violence against women and girls, adolescent boys must be meaningfully engaged from a young age to understand importance of making gender sensitive decisions, resisting the pressure of negative masculinities and supporting the girls and women in their lives. In 2025 the program reached 1,226 adolescent in Kampala and Bukedea Districts.

GUIU also facilitates automotive apprenticeships and skills training, proving that young women can prosper in male-dominated trades. In 2025, 86 young women gained employability skills in fashion design, tailoring and automotive mechanics.

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
