Keep her in school

For some girls growing up in vulnerable communities, limited exposure to career possibilities can make education feel disconnected from their future. F SSIBU Mission Foundation seeks to introduce career awareness and future pathway sessions through the Keep Her in School program, helping girls understand how education can connect to different opportunities in adulthood.

The sessions can expose girls to a range of educational and vocational pathways, including professional careers, entrepreneurship, technical skills, digital opportunities, agriculture, creative industries, and other productive fields. Girls can be encouraged to identify personal interests, set educational goals, and understand the importance of completing school.

Donor support can help provide career materials, invite appropriate speakers and mentors, organize exposure sessions, and support educational activities that allow girls to explore different possibilities. Contributions can also help reach girls in underserved communities where access to career guidance may be limited.

The impact goes beyond a single session. When a girl begins to see herself as someone capable of building a future, her motivation to remain engaged with education can become stronger. Career awareness can help transform education from a daily obligation into a pathway toward opportunity, independence, and purpose.

Through donor support, F SSIBU can help vulnerable girls discover possibilities they may never have encountered before. Every contribution can help place information, encouragement, and positive examples within reach of children who deserve the opportunity to dream beyond their present circumstances.

Keeping children in school requires more than supporting them inside the classroom. F SSIBU Mission Foundation seeks to strengthen school-to-home follow-up visits for vulnerable girls whose attendance, learning progress, or family circumstances may place them at risk of leaving school.

Through the Keep Her in School program, community outreach workers can visit families, speak with caregivers, understand challenges affecting a child’s education, and encourage stronger communication between homes and schools. These visits can help identify issues such as prolonged absence, family responsibilities, learning difficulties, unsafe conditions, or other pressures that may interfere with a child’s education.

Donor support can help cover transportation, communication, community outreach materials, documentation, and coordination costs required to conduct regular follow-up visits. Support can also strengthen the ability of F SSIBU staff and community volunteers to maintain contact with vulnerable children and their caregivers.

These visits create an important connection between the child, family, school, and organization. Instead of waiting until a girl has completely dropped out, F SSIBU can engage families early and work toward practical solutions that support continued education.

A donor’s contribution can therefore help make early intervention possible. Each visit represents an opportunity to listen, understand, encourage, and respond. Through sustained school-to-home engagement, donors help strengthen the support system surrounding vulnerable children and contribute to keeping girls connected to education.
