Puberty spawns a range of changes both physical and psychological to humans. Some of these changes are unfortunately and ultimately responsible for steering countless girls into falling victims of unpredictable challenges including the undesirable child pregnancies and child marriages.

​

In most developing communities, such phenomena is highly condemned and socially intolerable, at the same time, its personally devastating to an individual girl-child. In the event that such situations manifest to poor families, they often get so shattered that many will simply abandon patronage to their affected daughters to concentrate their constrained incomes on other family members, hypothetically not ruined hitherto. Ordinarily such girl children conceive largely from casual and transaction coincidences, from reckless men that will more likely later deny or are incapable of meeting the expenses of associated responsibilities. Affected girl-children habitually tend to recourse to hiding with no care at all, and as a result, are faced with a complex of encounters that frequently propels them into denial. This severely depresses their self-esteem and confidence, thereby marginalizing or entirely eliminating them from the public sphere of productive living and work. Majority of victimized girls concede to abusive unions for endurance and on many instances accompanied by injuries and loss of life.

​

Girls and young women confronted with such circumstances are a fertile ground for human manipulation such as human trafficking, prostitution, drug use and human body part business rackets. At Tye, we feel this is detrimental to the well-being of the girl-child and the vulnerable families and should be stopped.

 

It is for this cause that KEEP on TRACK (KoT), which is a project of Tye, is working to improve livelihoods of such victimized young women and girls.

 

Our interventions have since, progressively transformed many of the forgotten youth from a subsistence living into world class professionals. Some of KoT products have successfully transited from a state of hopelessness to now being productive as employees with living wages as well as entrepreneurs both in local communities of both rural an urban areas including outside Uganda.  At the CIC, KoT is coordinated and is synchronized with other Tye community development interventions to include the excluded.
