Dear Donors,
Your support of Keep Her in School has delivered life-changing results over the past six months. Thanks to you, 163 girls who were at imminent risk of dropping out have remained enrolled across 22 partner communities.
These girls faced significant barriers—school fee debt, lack of sanitary pads, early marriage pressure, and domestic labor demands. Your funding provided scholarships, hygiene kits, academic catch-up classes, and family counseling sessions. As a result, 97% of participants maintained consistent attendance, compared to just 65% among non-participating peers. Furthermore, 87% improved their performance in math or reading.
One powerful story is Rachel, age 14. After her parents fell ill, she was withdrawn to care for her siblings. With your help, we arranged a temporary caregiver and tutoring support. Rachel is now back in school full-time and dreams of becoming an engineer.
We also trained 30 local mentors who now identify vulnerable girls and intervene before they leave. Still, 75 additional girls await our support.
Your continued partnership will help us reach them. Thank you for keeping her in school.
Sincerely,
F SSIBU MISSION FOUNDATION
