The project will develop a role model in education to support dropout especially for girls in the project area. It will not only create support system and easy accessibility but also will motivate them to continue their studies and prevent them from drop out of school. The project will impact in reduction in school drop out, child labor and child marriage too. The Girls and young women will get exposure to new skill education as a alternate to livelihood.
Our education system has not succeeded to give equal opportunities to access to quality education to all the children especially the children from remote areas and disadvantaged communities. Most of them if not all, are pushed to child labour and are remained unskilled workers when grown up. This ultimately increases their vulnerability and leads them deeper into poverty. This is exacerbated by gender inequality and cultural attitudes which manifest as pressure to marry young and be illiterate
