Happy Holidays Kisa supporters! 2013 has been a wonderful year for AfricAid's Kisa Project. Let's take a look at what we have accomplished since Kisa began.
The first two Kisa classes have now graduated from secondary school.
The Kisa graduation rate was 94%, in a country in which only 5% of girls graduate from secondary school, and where each year of secondary school completed adds 20% to a girls’ eventual wages.
Since graduation, these first two classes if girls have mentored over 1,000 other young girls in their home communities, giving them critical lessons in life skills, leadership, and entrepreneurship, in a supportive community environment.
91% of our graduated Kisa scholars are going on to university or another form of post-secondary training, in a country in which less than 1% of women have any training/education post secondary school.
Currently, there are 250 Kisa Scholars enrolled in the program, with another 250 young women expected to join the Kisa Project in 2014.
None of this could have been possible without Kisa's amazing supporters!! Thank you all so very much and have a wonderful holiday season.
