Despite, according to the survey conducted by Center for Global Development (2020), in 32 countries; among the 98 staff at 82 different NGOs and other organizations that provide education; half of which are based in Africa; and the rest concentrated across Asia, Latin America, and elsewhere; the report reveals that COVID-19 has put the lives of millions of girls, especially in developing countries at substantial risk of gender-based violence, early pregnancies, and dropping out once schools are re-opened.
This report prompted Kole Intellectual Forum; to seek for permission from Kole district COVID-19 task force, to call a meeting between their girls and the girls which was granted; to check on the situation of their girls out of the schools which were supposed to be engaged in home economics; but would not take off because of the effect of COVID-19 from March 15, 2020.
In the findings; out of 20 girls recruited for the program; before COVID-19, only 6 have reported to the office of Kole Intellectual Forum; the rest are at large; although we are still to establish facts about them; but it has been assumed to be an event which is related to the report from the Center for Global Development(2020).
Directors of Kole Intellectual Forum; encouraged the few who reported to their office to be patient and wait for their program that will take off soon when the lockdown is unlocked.
