One World Today is a non-profit organization that provides educational opportunities for girls in Uganda, especially in the Ssese Islands, where Allison will be spending most of her\u00c2\u00a0time. In Uganda, it is rare for girls to be educated because it is often unsafe for girls to walk to the public schools and strict gender roles often keep girls at home. One World Today has a boarding school in the Ssese Islands that is 100% safe for girls to attend, and, in order to prevent financial issues from keeping impoverished girls home from school, have set up a program in which American families pay for a girl\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s tuition and room\/board in exchange for letters sent between them and the girl.
