From at-risk to empowered, one girl at a time.
In Uganda, girls are being pulled out of school and forced into early marriage. The Geaux Foundation interrupts that cycle with a safe home, hands-on training, and gospel-centered mentorship.
The Problem
Girls in Uganda are being traded away.
In many parts of Uganda, girls as young as 13 are pulled out of school and married off for food, money, or survival.
Education isn't free. When families run out of options, girls become the currency. Most will never go back to school. Many will live as third or fourth wives in polygamous homes, forgotten and voiceless.

I watched girls disappear from school, married off before they even had a chance to dream. I knew God was calling me to step in and give them what I was given: hope and a future.Peace Daniel, Founder of the Geaux Foundation
Six months of shelter, faith, and training changes the direction of a girl’s whole life.
Our Mission
The Geaux Foundation exists to stop that story before it starts.

Hear from our graduates.
I once felt trapped with no chance at education. Now I'm building skills, confidence, and a life of freedom.
I would be married off by now. But because of the Geaux Foundation and the donors who gave, I have a skill. I have a future. And I know how to pray.

Our Story
A mother and daughter answering the same call.
Founder & President
Peace Daniel
Peace grew up in Kampala. On school breaks, she visited her grandmother's village and watched her childhood friends get married off far too young. She couldn't forget them. In 2021, while deep in prayer, she felt God call her to step into the gap. That call became the Geaux Foundation.

Director in Uganda
Miss Betty Nakisita
Miss Betty is Peace's mother, and she runs our program on the ground in Uganda. She lost two husbands and raised her children through deep poverty. Even so, she opened her home to village girls for decades, teaching them her skills and sharing what little food she had. Today she is a mother to many, not only by blood but by love.
