How change happens
From falling results to rising futures
The problem
Results have fallen far behind
89%
of 2024 BECE candidates in Sissala East scored aggregate 30 or above. Few books, few role models, and few reasons to stay in school.
What we do
Five programs in schools and communities
- Quiz Competition
- Debating Competition
- Readers Clubs
- Female Student Awards
- Educational Trips
What changes
Measurable targets we report on
- BECE pass rate in participating schools within three years
- +25%
- schools with active Readers Clubs within three years
- 15
- girls awarded every year
- 10
What we do
Five programs, one goal
Program 04
Female Student Awards
Bursaries, supplies and mentors for the top-performing and most improved girls.
Program 04[Name, school and district to confirm]
Celebrating the top girls in every district
Early marriage pressure, farm work and few female role models hold Sisaala girls back. Our awards make their achievement visible, and back it with bursaries, supplies and mentors.
