As the year 2016 ends, We are pleased to report that the project send somali girls to schools has achieved tremendous support from the community, girls and schools. PGI is gratitude as we count the many direct and indirect beneficiaries of our project. We celebrate the girls who completed their end of year exams and performed well while others are exited to join secondary after completion of the primary school. The beneficiary girls have performed well in the end of year exams and girls graduating to the next class with no girl who drop out of school or absenteeism since PGI under the funds received from GlobalGiving manage to support girls with sanitary supply for a whole year. This supported the girls have enough supply and reduce girls missing classes and girls hygene has imprved for they have the knowldged and how to use sanitary towel.
The send somali girls to school aims to bridge educational gaps for vulnerable secondary school girls in Garissa County that are most marginalized and vulnerable girls. The project has boosted the girls enrollment in secondary schools and reduce child marriages, girl child labour, and enhanced their performance in learning by retaining them in schools without the interference of being chased from school due to lack of school fees, uniform, books and sanitary towels.
This quarter PGI managed to procure school uniforms for 50 girls in the project to enhance their performance in learning by retaining them in schools without the interference of being chased from school due to lack of school uniforms. The community, schools and parents of the girls appreciated the role PGI plays in supporting girls who are less fortune and most of the time drop out of school due to lack of basic needs. Most of the girls supported with school uniforms families earns less than 1$ a day and cant provided schools uniforms for their daughters.One of the girls parents said, “she was ashamed every morning when her daughter leaves for school in tattered school uniforms and her daughter determination to continue with school has answered her prayers she has been asking God for someone to come and rescue her daughter situation” She thanked PGI and the school for covering her shame of not being able to give her daughter school uniform.
Its due to this project and many other projects that support girls that has earned PGI a prestige global award for girls. The With and For girls award was given to PGI this November and Global Giving project contributed to the success of PGI girls programs.
Thank you so much for your generous support of PGI, through your generosity families and girls are getting the care they need to access education. Please accept our gratitude.
