To improve opportunities for girls so that they can have access to quality basic education.
In South Sudan, only a small part of primary school children attend school, leading to most young people to only have a basic education or even being private of it in many cases. This situation is particularly serious in the case of girls and adolescents, who are regularly prevented from attending school due to their early age to marry and have children.
Plan International develops Accelerated Learning Program in government primary schools to promote access to school for adolescent mothers and girls who are between 12 to 18 years old. These programs will have the distribution of dignity kits for girls and will provide nursery areas for teenage mothers to have their children cared while attending courses.
- Training girls in Accelerated Learning courses
- Facilitating the retention of girls in courses through:
- Distribution of hygiene kits with washable and reusable towels, soaps, towels and combs, among other things.
- Care for their children in a nursery school nearby.
140 girls between 12-18 years of age affected by South Sudan Conflict will have access to alternative quality education in a safe and socially cohesive environment.
In addition, they receive a dignity kit for two years, comprising: washable and reusable pads for intimate hygiene, soaps, towels and combs, among other things.
