Published purpose

The project ensures that girls realize their right to safe, quality, gender-responsive education by improving the participation of adolescent girls in primary and secondary education in Tanzania. Project activities include: (1) increasing the availability of gender-responsive school facilities, such as latrines, and access to adolescent-friendly sexual and reproductive health services; (2) addressing the financial constraints poor girls and their families face by providing economic opportunities to support girls’ education; (3) offering re-entry points for out-of-school girls, particularly girls in remote communities and those living with disabilities; and (4) supporting girls’ transition from primary to secondary school or alternative learning programs for girls barred from enrolling due to pregnancy or early motherhood. This is achieved through cost-effective solutions to enable safe transport to secondary and alternative learning centres.
