Help Kenyan Girls Qualify for Secondary School

Organization information

The Sunflower Foundation (Australia) Inc.

Location: Melbourne, Australia

Summary

The Literacy Garden Project aims to develop the skills of 500 marginalised rural girls annually, to promote literacy, food security and environmental stewardship by establishing a safe environment for girls from 7 rural primary schools. In a country where success in life is determined by the final scores in national primary school exams, girls face the greatest challenges. Those who fail these tests cannot access secondary school, and face prostitution, child marriage and early teen pregnancy.
