Improving Girls’ Access to Secondary Education (IGASE)
Project Launch: 5-14-21
Likwenu Community Day Secondary School has for the past years experienced challenges with inadequate classroom infrastructure and other learning resources. Using a $9,799.87 grant obtained by the school’s Mother Support Group, communities will construct a two classroom block which will help reduce congestion and provide a conducive learning environment to over 130 students per year. The project will reduce class absenteeism as male and female students will be motivated to attend classes, thereby improving their academic performance. The project will benefit 130 female and 154 male students and teachers at the secondary school.
