Eliminate root causes of child marriage globally
Program accomplishments
- Keeping Girls in School. Full or partial secondary school tuition and boarding fees paid for 10 girls at St. Elizabeth Girls Secondary School in Ortum, West Pokot, Kenya. College tuition and boarding fees paid for 10 girls at various colleges and universities in Kenya. When girls are in school, the likelihood of child marriage drops significantly. When girls are empowered with tertiary education, the likelihood of employment increases significantly and the likelihood their business will thrive also increases significantly. Girls making money eliminate the need for the family to sell their girl as a child into a forced marriage in exchange for a bride price.Expenses $19,729 · grants $19,729
- Ensuring girls graduate secondary school with Kenya KCSE credentials . These credentials are required for students to pursue tertiary education which leads to employment. Construction of a twin science laboratory at Cheptiangwa Secondary School, Chepkobegh West Pokot, Kenya. This science lab teaches biology, chemistry and physics with practical experiences, as required by the Kenyan Department of Education. When girls are empowered with STEM skills, their ability to secure employment or create a future business rises significantly, allowing her to be a financially contributing member of society vs. being 'sold off' as a child bride for financial gain for the family.Expenses $58,725 · grants $58,725
