Supporting Girls' Education

Different technical and other supports

provided in collaboration with local administration and other governmental sector offices, such as small business training, generator purchasing including the practical test how to utilize it and supplying improved sorghum seeds were.

Better access to education is created for

100 poor and marginalized high school girls and they are supported birr 150 for each in a monthly basis.

 Participants' lack of understanding during

awareness training,

 Lack of access to appropriate economic,

technological and social services that put constraints on women and girls .

 Lack of access to control over resources that

make the women economically dependent on men and powerless to make decisions.

 Most of the adult women are illiterate, which

limits their capacity to see all alternatives that lead to generate better income.

• The training was focused mainly on the current

experience of the participants in order to make the training topics easily understandable.

• We are trying to solve some of the problems

through discussion with local administration and other governmental sector offices such as youth and women affairs.
