Promoting Education for Indigenous Girls in Mexico

The project has had important achievements up to now: - Primary school programs were designed by eight teachers including topics such as gender equity and addiction prevention - 96 parents have attended 12 workshops - 50 parents have taken part in meetings with the teachers. - The participation of girls in scholar activities typically considered for boys (such as basketball), went up to 90 percent. In the same proportion the boys were involved in activities considered for girls. - There were 30 visits to girls’ houses where the girls were ready to go to primary school; 12 of them started going to school. A 100 percent of the attendance by the enrolled girls was reported.

Donors support is crucial to continue developing this work.
