School-going Kenyan girls in Kisii County lack basic water and sanitation facilities, essential for their hygiene and well-being. By providing sanitary wares and hygiene training, more girls will be empowered to stay in school, reduce absenteeism, and improve their academic performance.
The project addresses the issue of girl-child absenteeism during menstruation, often caused by exposed toilets, and the incidence of diseases like diarrhea and typhoid, leading to high dropout rates. It aims to improve performance in Science and Mathematics (SMT) for all students, focusing on girls. By reducing absenteeism and dropout rates, the project seeks to increase school enrollment and ensure more girls can continue learning.
The project tackles the problem of girl-child absenteeism during menstruation, often due to exposed toilets and the spread of diseases like diarrhea and typhoid, which contribute to high dropout rates. By providing sanitary wares, improving hygiene facilities, and promoting health education, the project will reduce absenteeism, enhance performance especially in Science and Mathematics (SMT) for all students, and ensure more girls remain in school and succeed academically.
The project's long-term impact will be seen in improved school attendance, retention, and academic performance among girls, particularly in Science and Mathematics (SMT). By addressing the root causes of absenteeism and dropout rates, such as poor hygiene and sanitation, the initiative will empower girls to complete their education. This, in turn, will increase their opportunities for higher education and employment, contributing to gender equality, improved health outcomes, and economic growth.
