Girls Education

Retaining girls in school and helping them thrive to successfully transit to the next level of education.

The support that is being provided by CHADET to primary and secondary level students has an objective of retaining children in school and help them thrive to successfully transit to the next level of education.

CHADET identified the low value attached to girls’ education by families and communities, inability of care givers to meet education-related costs (books, food and uniforms) and unfriendly, unsafe, un-stimulating and poorly-resourced school environments where boys dominate ‘to be challenges to girls’ education.

CHADET established Good Brothers Clubs to secure the support of boys to girls’ education. The project was executed in 77 primary and secondary schools in eleven Woredas located in Amhara and Oromiya Regions.
