Resume

The purpose of the project is to rehabilitate the girls who have dropped out of school by giving them vocational training or making it possible for them to return to school. Long term objective: To build a community that promotes reduction of the socio-economic consequences of young female school dropout and supports the girls in exploring their full skill potential. Short term objective: To strengthen the capacity of the community advocacy groups to advocate for child rights, teach conflict management and offer psycho-social support of young female dropouts in the communities and schools. To strengthen socio-economic resilience of young female dropouts through sustained skilling in the necessary and relevant education and vocational skills. Further to form an Association of Teenage Mothers that will serve as a pinnacle that spearheads initiation of strong, independent and self-supporting young female dropouts.
