With support from the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) UNFPA Uganda supported partner Reach A Hand Uganda to record a song about ending child marriage and teenage pregnancy. The title of the song ‘Baleke’ literally translated ‘Let them grow’ sends out a message with a call to give adolescent girls the chance to be just who they are; girls and not child parents! Itis an appeal to families and community members to protect adolescent girls from child marriage and allow to complete their education and live their dreams.
