We will map out-of-school girls and ensure their enrollment into formal schools in age-appropriate classes.
For women, we will operate our own learning centres where women coming from the socially-excluded communities are provided learning andsupport.
Community Development
Community development will be a process whereby community members especially women and girls may come together to take collective action and generate solutions to common problems relating to women and girls prevalent in society. It will adopt a grassroots or a bottom up approach to finding viable solutions by the community for the various issues pertaining to women and girls. Participation of the community as a whole has to be an integral part for the programme to be sustainable.
