In addition, some of the girls were not at school during the time of visit despite their fees having been paid since they had to return home for things like soap, books and other grabs.
Lessons learnt.
• Close involvement of the teachers is key in project success as they help in providing guidance and mentoring to the students.
• Close monitoring and follow up at school by project leader is key in fostering mentorship of the girls
