    The document describes a mentor program for adolescent girls and young women in Uganda that aimed to increase access to social support and services. Over 490 adolescent girls and young women participated in the program through 22 community groups, receiving training on sexual and reproductive health, financial capabilities, soft skills, and gender issues. Statistically significant results were found between those who participated in the mentoring program and a control group on measures like HIV knowledge, discussing HIV testing, having a savings plan, and saving money.
