When you educate a girl, you educate a nation, goes a popular saying. Therefore to ensure growth and development of a nation, it is vital that the girl child receives a good education. This is the message renowned Ugandan music producer Magic Washington is trying to communicate in his latest song.
Dubbed “Our Girls”, Washington teamed up with singer Sanga Moses to advocate for girl child education. The song does not only champion girl child education, but also calls for an end to child marriages.
For Sanga Moses, ending ending child marriage is a cause close to his heart having seen his three sisters forced into early marriage before they celebrated their sixteenth birthday. Since 2010, he has been focused on economically empowering underprivileged mothers by training them and helping them to launch clean energy micro-businesses in Uganda converting locally sourced waste into clean cooking fuel (briquettes) and more recently energy saving cookstoves so that they have the incomes to send their children particularly girls to school.
“Our Girls” was produced by Magic Washington at Master’s studio and Video directed by Ark Menz.
