Many girls have dropped out of school because of poverty and basic needs such as books, pencils, pens, school bags, footwear, school uniforms, and other basic needs of the girls child. This is what Save girl child education Ghana limited is doing to support this girls who are in a marginalized communities to be able to go to school and learn how to read and write to improve the livelihood.
Most communities in the remote areas of Ghana are faced with poverty. Due to that a lot of girls are not able to complete their basic education or do not have the motivation to go to school at all. Sometimes, they do not have school items needed in their various schools such as mathematical sets, books, pencils, pens, school bags, footwear, school uniforms, food and other basic needs of the girls child. These girls fall victims in the hands of naughty guys who gave them small amounts of money to lure them into relationships which later result into pregnancy and destroy their future. As a result this, pregnancy and school dropout has become rampant in the communities.
Our survey in the various communities in the remote areas of Ghana where poverty is so high proved that, as at march 2019, the National date collected by Education Management Information System (EMIS) under UNESCO indicate that 7,575 girls were dropped out from school.
Save girl child education focuses on education for children, especially the most vulnerable and ages birth to 11 years. The volunteers often working in the fields of childhood development, education, and other aspects of the education sector. Save girl child education Ghana is about childhood education practices and policies that help the development of programs and promote intercultural understanding. Organization has supported 12000 girls on our education agenda.
Save girl child education Ghana has three primary programs include the Center for Education Diplomacy and Leadership, Global Schools First, and Innovation Exchange. Which the organization has build three classroom blocks for the rural community.
Our goal for the next 2-3 years is to increase the number from 12000-17000 girls.
I think the most important thing is to focus on the rural communities they are the people needed most.
Because, for them there is no compitition in life at rural those communities. Parents don't know much about girl child education.
First plan is to conduct research in that particular community as to know number of girls at home?
Those at school? And the successful ones at the basic level.
