School starts on October 1st in our 11 village schools. OA staff have purchased new bench desks, books and other school supplies so the classrooms will be ready for our youngest learners. Thanks to donors like you we also offer teacher trainings and parent/teacher relationship building workshops so that children have a strong foundation to support their academic growth.
Out of our 11 village schools, all but 4 are meeting their goal of 50% enrollment is female. This is such an accomplishment and we continue to work with the 4 villages that aren't quite at 50%. Our Education Councils focus on discussions stressing the importance of all children receiving an education. OA staff are committed to encouraging councils, village leadership and parents to ensure female children receive the same academic opportunities as their male peers.
We are hopeful this year we will see all village children in school. Thank YOU for supporting this important initiative.
