Wasichana Wote Wasome / Wasichana Wetu Wafaulu - Phase1
Project disclaimer
Description
Our recent work in Kenya with marginalised girls has been in two phases. Firstly we designed and delivered Wasichana Wote Wasome ('let all girls learn' in Swahili), that practically addressed the issues of low levels of enrolment and retention as well as poor learning outcomes for marginalised girls. As a natural continuation, we are currently delivering Wasichana Wetu Wafaulu ('let all girls succeed') whereby we are working to remove cultural and socio-economic barriers that have prevented these same marginalised girls from transitioning to secondary school. Both programmes focus their activity in arid and semi-arid lands (ASAL) ? typically populated by nomadic, pastoral communities ? and in urban slums targeting more than 500 schools and some 80,000 girls. Education Development Trust is the lead partner in a consortium including Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team (AMURT), Concern Worldwide, Pastoral Girls Initiative (PGI), Kesho Kenya and WERK (external evaluator).|For long-term, sustainable impact, we need to effect a fundamental shift in behaviours. We therefore designed a programme that takes the girls on a journey both of personal development supported by their family and the community and of positive transitions through an education system better equipped to fulfil the potential of these marginalised girls. Our programme is holistic and focusses on four dimensions: the girl herself, The girl at home, the girl in the community and the girl in education
