Motherly Heart organisation

Joined June 2023

Motherly Heart organisation is a grassroot organisation based in Uganda. Founded in 2023 by AJambo Mary.Our vision is to create a society where every child and adolescent girl thrives through education and empowerment. We implement education programs in rural parts of Busia district that aim to improve the literacy of children from low income families. We work with adolescent girls by dismantling barriers to their education .

According to world bank 75 percentage of children who are 9 cannot read and understand. In Uganda only 4 of 10 of children who join primary school complete it. The challenges are they cannot read, poverty and many others. We make interventions by creating literacy hubs that help the children have access to free reading books, computers, reading sessions and coaching.

The girls program aims to end early marriages and teenage pregnancy and keeps girls in school. We empower girls, build their autonomy and give them a supportive space by establishing girls clubs in schools, sponsorship of girls to join secondary school and addressing menstrual hygiene and management. The girl program specifically targets rural girls because they face the double burden of inequality and poverty in their education.

Our Privacy Policy

Welcome to the Grassroots Justice Network website (grassrootsjusticenetwork.org) (the “Site”) and the Grassroots Justice Network Academy (academy.grassrootsjusticenetwork.org) (the “Academy”), operated by Namati, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Namati”, “we”, “us” or “our”). We share your concern about the protection of your personal information online.

This privacy policy (“Policy”) describes how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect the personal information we collect online in connection with the Site and the Grassroots Justice Network Academy (the “Academy”). Our processing of personal data of individuals located in the European Economic Area (EEA) is governed by the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“EU GDPR”), and for individuals in the United Kingdom by the UK GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act 2018. Namati acts as the data controller for personal information processed through the Site and the Academy. For information about how to contact us or exercise your privacy rights, please see the section entitled “Your Rights Under the Policy.”

When the Policy Applies

This Policy describes our privacy practices and sets out your obligations and ours with respect to your use of the Site and the Academy. This Policy applies only to the Site and the Academy, and does not necessarily apply to our offline collection of information.

By using the Site and the Academy, you agree to abide by the terms of this Policy and the terms of use (the “Terms”) and you consent to our using any information that you provide to us or that we collect, in accordance with the terms of use and the terms and conditions of this policy. If you do not agree to this policy and the terms, do not use the site.

Use of the Grassroots Justice Network Academy

The Grassroots Justice Network Academy is delivered through the 360Learning learning management system (“360Learning”). Namati remains the data controller for all personal information collected and processed through the Academy. 360Learning processes personal information on Namati’s behalf as our data sub-processor, and only in accordance with our instructions and applicable data protection laws.

The Academy enables users to participate in online learning activities, including courses, learning paths, assessments, certificates, discussion forums, and live learning events. To provide these services, personal information is processed through the Academy platform. This may include your name, email address, organization, login information, IP address, learning progress, assessment responses and results, certificates earned, discussion forum contributions, and other information you voluntarily submit while participating in Academy activities.

We have entered into appropriate contractual arrangements with 360Learning, including a Data Processing Agreement, to ensure that personal information processed through the Academy is protected in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Because collaborative learning is central to the Academy experience, please be aware that personal information you share within the platform — including contributions to discussion forums, responses to course activities, assessment results where rankings are displayed, and other content you submit within shared learning spaces — may be visible to other enrolled learners. You should exercise discretion about what personal information you share in these collaborative spaces.

Information We Collect and Track

Namati may collect and retain two types of information about users of the Site and the Academy: (i) personal information that individual visitors voluntarily provide when interacting on the Site or on certain other occasions (such as via forms or in emails); and (ii) tracking data, which is data that is automatically collected from every Site visitor as they use and browse the site.

The information that we gather may include your name, title and address, telephone number, email address, credit card number or other elements of personal information. In addition, if you contact us, we may keep a record of your correspondence, including any information contained therein.

You may decline to provide any personal information, but please realize that you thereby may be unable to register or to participate in activities or services offered on the Site and/or Academy.

When you participate in the Academy, we may also collect and retain information relating to your learning activities. This may include your course enrollments, learning progress, quiz and assessment responses, certificates earned, attendance at live learning sessions, discussion forum posts, comments, and other information that you voluntarily submit as part of your participation in Academy activities.

Information that We Collect

In addition to the information you submit to or through the Site or the Academy, we also may collect and store data from and about you gathered in the course of your use of the Site or the Academy. We call this “tracking data.”

Such tracking data may include, but is not limited to, information regarding the number and frequency of visits to the Site and the Academy, the websites that you access before and after visiting our platforms, the software and operating system used to access our services, browser and device information, IP address, Internet service provider, login activity, and technical information relating to your use of learning resources and Academy features.

AI-Assisted Features

The Academy may include optional AI-assisted features provided through the 360Learning platform to support the learning experience. Where these features are used, user prompts and related content may be processed through Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service solely for the purpose of providing the requested functionality.

Personal information submitted through these AI-assisted features is not used to train or improve public AI models operated by Microsoft, OpenAI, or other third parties. Use of these features is optional, and additional information regarding 360Learning’s AI practices is available in 360Learning’s AI Data Usage Policy at https://support.360learning.com/hc/en-us/articles/17562881836564.

It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us.

Your Legal Rights

You have the right to:

Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.

Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.

Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it has an impact on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.

Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios:

If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy.
Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it.
Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.

Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.

No fee usually required

You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.

What we may need from you

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.

Time limit to respond

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
