The target for this year's campaign is to raise shs276,000,000 to support 230 underprivileged female students. Professor Ismail Simbwa Gyagenda, Rector of Islamic University in Uganda, reported significant progress since the campaign's inception three years ago.

The event was graced by  Balaam Ateenyi, Minister of State for Youth and Children Affairs, who reaffirmed the government's commitment to supporting girl children engaged in nation-building and contributing to the country's transformation.

He pledged his unwavering support for the #Run4GirlChild initiative and committed to sponsoring the campaign through his various radio stations across Uganda.

The 2024 #Run4GirlChild event saw a diverse group of participants, including young and old, men and women, rich and poor, all united in their support for the girl child.

The campaign aims to make a lasting impact on the lives of these students and empower them to become future leaders and change-makers.
