In a slum, where most people live below the poverty line, the education of girls takes a backseat. Poverty, underdevelopment, illiteracy, ignorance, and conservatism cause girls to forego their fundamental right to education.
Given the impact of Covid-19, girls returning to school in January is of low priority. Many have missed out on a year of schooling and are a significant risk of falling behind, or out of education entirely.
We will be working with Achievers Ghana to identify and place 25 girls in school for the next academic year, tracking their progress through the year and ensuring they have all the textbooks and learning material necessary for them to excel.
