This project continues to make a big difference in the lives of the girls that are getting
the support and this has eased their access to education that has in turn built their self-esteem through their continuous counselling from Platform for Labour Action.
MONITORING VISITS
14 monitoring visits were made in this quarter both in school and the different homes that beneficiaries leave in. 20 girls were reached during the school visits well as 7 girls were reached during the home visits made. During the school visits the beneficiaries were encouraged to perform better and read hard for their end of year/promotional examinations.
HOLIDAY EVENT/PLAY DAY
This quarter an opportunity was provided for the beneficiaries to share games and play with fellow beneficiaries, find solutions to their problems as well as share experiences and interact. Other issues suchas their end of year performance are discussed and their expectations as wellas future aspirations are laid out and expressed for guidance. Among otherthings the beneficiaries were able to receive clothes, Sanitary pads, deodorants and shoes.
COUNSELING
During the school and home monitoring visits the beneficiaries are talked and also
counselled. During the visits, the beneficiaries are able to share personal issues. While in school thebeneficiaries
are supported on how to perform better and also guided, the school teachers
have been involved in the discussion to work together with PLA staff to ensure
the improvement of the beneficiaries in both school and class work.
CASE STORY OF ACAN ZAITUN
Zaitun is one of PLA beneficiaries who has benefited from the project since last year 2012, she sat her primary leaving examinations but due to continuous illness as a result of her HIV/AIDS status, she was unable to perform to her expectation.
