The Situation

The aim for these girls is that a complete education will provide them with the opportunities and knowledge to succeed in achieving their goals and aspirations and gain employment which will break the cycle of poverty and early marriage.

The Objectives

The major objective of the establishment of this school is to enhance access, retention and completion of high school education for girls and thereafter joining colleges and universities. This will help in poverty reduction and self-reliance which will bring about positive change and social and economic development of the community.
