Tackling Barriers to Girls' Education in Kishushe, Kenya

Despite the Kenyan government's efforts towards providing education for all, girls in Kenya continue to experience a number of challenges which prevent them from going to school or completing their education. We will empower 325 girls to challenge violence and pursue their education by forming Girls' Clubs in 5 schools. The project will promote the importance of girls' education to over 2,500 people in the local community and will work with them to reduce harmful traditional practices and violence against girls. We will also support 300 out-of-school girls and young mothers with vocational skills training and business start-up grants, to continue their education and help them out of poverty.
