Barriers to Girl’s Education.
- Poverty
- social values
- parental preferences
- inadequate residential & school facilities
- shortage of female teachers at the primary level and at the university level and gender bias in curriculum.
Girl Child Education A smart investment
- Basic education provides girls with an understanding and knowledge of challenges and opportunities. This enables them to make suitable life choices.
- Girl child education leads directly to improved family health and economic growth.
- Educated women are more likely to educate their own children ending the cycle of illiteracy in one generation.
Our Aim
Our aim is to create education as an important tool to enable girls to participate in decisions that affect their lives and improve their social status.
We promote a sense of self-esteem, dignity, and self-worth so that girls gain strength from solidarity, collective action and mutual support.
