Many young girls today are battling with the "absence" of school. A community had been recently discovered to be every fundamental in the well being of a child.
Staying at home has posed a great deal of challenges for families by affecting relationships between children and parents, house work "fights" and managing idle time.
Working young girls during this period has uncovered a huge gap in parenting and social priorities. Teenage girls are forced to stay home since their surrounding neighborhoods are considered unsafe. This has subjected many to a boring and similar routine each day which may negatively impact on their behavior, pro activity and confidence.
We are working to empower children, girls beyond "class" learning and enable then to creatively learn outside the school environment.
Education, combined with good health and economic empowerment, are the game changers for girls and women. When girls stay in school and have access to sexual and reproductive health care, they have better negotiating power within their families, can decide for themselves whether and when to have children, can pursue careers of their choosing, and can contribute to their communities and societies. It a virtuous circle and entire families, communities, and nations benefit from safe schools.
It is up to all of us around the world to take a stand and end violence against girls.
