Hungry to Learn (EDUCATION) "I want to learn, but it’s hard…”
Navigating adolescence is hard; the challenges that girls and boys face as they transition from childhood to adulthood are unique. Luckily, we know how to help make it a little easier.
Overcoming the Barriers
Hunger, lower social status, chores, early marriage, school safety and sanitation are all barriers preventing a child from receiving a proper education.
We implements gender-synchronized approaches: projects may begin with identifying and addressing the unique barriers that keep girls out of school, while at the same time working with boys and men to help identify and address such barriers. Other projects may engage both girls and boys from inception, to build equitable environments through which all students can learn, thrive and grow.
