Stop Child Marriages Today in Africa

Introduction 

By responsive and proactive measures against child marriage, girls will be empowered by maintaining good health, get access to education and reduce fertility rates. The World Bank states that child marriages cost the African countries tens of billions of dollars in lost earnings which demonstrates the potential of economic growth and the opportunity of breaking the cycle of poverty as girls with secondary education are more likely to earn twice as much as those without secondary level.

This project aims at educating parents and girls about the risk of child marriage; provide education and group therapy to girls who have been or at risk of being victims of child marriage, and offer income generation schemes to parents to prevent child marriages in the future.

Introduction 

In Africa, around 30% of girls marry before the age of 18. This contributes to high fertility rates, increased health risks, reduced educational levels and cost the countries billions of dollars in lost earnings. By providing girls with mental and educational support, as well as sustainable solutions for partners to independently earn a living we contribute to gender equality as well as quality education which will give people the opportunity to make educated decisions.

Report 

At Shanduko Yeupenyu Childcare, have made it a priority to teach communities on the benefits of keeping young girls in school and helping young girls escape the threat of child marriage. But we want to do more, we currently support 45 girls and want to expand to helping a 100 girls as soon as possible. Raising funds to support them through their entire school education, and providing them with mental health support would be a dream come true.
