Rose on the Girl Child project

24th January 2016:

Our Girl-Child project has developed a lot in the past four months. Our big push at the moment is enabling girls (and women) to take up their places in Government Secondary schools. Fees are an enormous barrier, but there are many others like the need to help at home with small siblings, carrying water, menstruation taboos and sanitation in school and mare and more.
Of the kind of poor purple we work with it is reckoned that only 0.06% of girls finish secondary school. Of course they are only girls and who cares about girls. (being a bit nasty), but the 75 girls we support have huge potential and may rock a some  boats in a few years.


Malala Yousafzi, the Pakistani schoolgirl, shot in the head by the Taliban, addressd the United Nations, saying
"Let us pick up our books and pens. They are our most powerful weapons. "One child, one teacher, one pen and one book can change the world. Education is the only solution. Education first."
