Project aims to keep 100 vulnerable girls from Mukuru kwa njenga to successfully complete their high school education. The girls will be supported with school fees, school uniforms, sexual health information and menstrual products. This will help end some of the challenges they encounter like exchanging sex for menstrual pads, teenage pregnancies, dropping out of school, Sexual Gender-based violence, early marriages. This empowers them to overcome challenges and achieve their full potential.
Adolescent girls living in informal settlements are often disproportionately affected by many challenges. Poverty increases their vulnerability and exposes them to risks of exchanging sex for pads, teenage pregnancies, dropping out of school, sexual gender-based violence and even early marriage thus low transition rates from primary to high school limiting girls from achieving their full potential.
The project will ensure 100 girls stay in school by providing them with school fees, full school uniforms and a supply of quality dignity kits throughout their education. Girls will not exchange sex for pads and will as well acquire information about their sexual health and wellbeing
By keeping the girls in school, we are bridging the gender gap in education and reducing teenage pregnancy, child marriage, sexual and Gender-based violence and school dropouts. Girls will be able to acquire skills, be confident to advocate for their needs as they become agents of change in their societies.
