The commitment of the Association Jeunesse Espoir for an education of quality girls is a constant challenge. As mentioned in our previous reports, the Assocciation Jeunesse Espoir takes an innovative approach to combat the social norms that constrain the economic and social development of young girls and their mothers.
This community-based approach places the development of the beneficiary's family at the heart of the program's concerns. Since the beginning of our activities we have repeatedly supported girls by distributing school supplies and textbooks, reinforcing them with remedial classes and sensitization sessions and this has had an important impact on the level of education of children. youth.
But now we have initiated an approach that aims to strengthen the capacities of the families of beneficiary girls living in rural areas to support them in a stepegic way to abandon the traditional practices that are harmful to the development and development of the girl who is especially exposed to early school leaving, non-schooling, non-reporting of births of girls, early marriages, excision of girls, excessive housework in homes In a rural area.
This new approach is being developed for its implementation starting in January 2020. Family members of young girls, mainly parents, will be involved in the whole process of family support for the well-being of children. to be the girl for a bright future.
As this process is in preparation and should start by the month of January with the effective participation of several foreign volunteers who will be housed within the community targeted in this program, we apologize for not being able to illustrate this report of photos or videos. But in the next report, I illustrate the activities with photos and videos will be provided.
As the old saying goes, "Everything you do for me without getting involved since conception is done against me". This is why the Espoir Jeunesse Espoir intends to roll out this program for the education and well-being of girls by involving families and the community as a whole.
We continue to reiterate our appeal to the fantastic Global Giving community to continue to support this important and vital program for the future and education of the girls benefiting from this project.
