There has been some changes in our general approach to the projects at the organization. The corona virus has limited our in person interactions with the community and we had to invent new ways to continue with our ongoing projects.
In relations to this project, we have stopped the in person mentoring sessions but have encouraged the girls to do peer support only to members from the same households. We have also paired the mentees to support each other by writing letters to express the challenges they face growing in a society that does not prioritize their education. The exchanges of letters included how the girls can support themselevs to rise up above the custom that have not been fair to them.
We have also handed out information and education materials to the girls to read, in hope that it would help to gain their confidence in leadership, so that they are better placed to demand for equal treatment by the society they live in.
We hope to get back to one on one mentorship program when the restrictions on gathering are eased.
