Doorstep learning for girls in domestic work

Doorstep learning for girls in domestic work

Organization information

UK Bangladesh Education Trust

Location: London, United Kingdom

Summary

Girls in domestic work are deprived of their right to an education, sent by their families until their marriage is arranged. Hidden behind closed doors, they are at extremely high risk of abuse and exploitation. We convince employers to permit our specialist community teachers into their homes for regular learning periods in literacy, numeracy and essential life skills. With a foundation in education we support the girls into school or vocational training, and a brighter, safer future.
