Education for girls has been identified as one of the best solutions to reversing the relentless trend of poverty and disease devastating large portions of sub-Saharan Africa. Girls who complete primary and secondary education tend to marry later, have smaller families and earn significantly higher wages. Girls’ education has been posited as a “vaccine” against HIV/AIDS. Girls are excluded from education not because of cultural resistance or unwillingness, but because of poverty — the main barrier to girls’ education. Our Girls Impact Program helps girls between the ages of 8 and 16. The program promotes numeracy & literacy, STEM education and life skills. Eligible out-of-school girls from very disadvantaged backgrounds are identified by our trained female mentors. Our trained teachers and facilitators develop pedagogical support for low performing girls who transition into public schools. Using Mean Baseline & End line Scores Tracker we are able to track the progress and learning outcomes of our students in Mathematics, Language Literacy and English by comparison with comparable groups who are not beneficiaries. We employ creative data gathering methods such as observations, role plays and interviews to elicit children’s views. This gives beneficiaries an opportunity to concretize their thoughts and feelings about the iLeap International and life in school. This approach tends to yield insight into their feelings, thoughts and memories of prior experience. Children also receive social and emotional development. Nearly half of the girls on our education program have lost at least a parent or both. There are mentoring meetings that are held for girls. Presently, 30 girls are on the Impact Program receiving tutoring, school supplies and basic needs.
