KURERA GIRLS FIRST INITIATIVE
Unfortunately for many African girls, a fifth grade education is the most they can expect. In Rwanda, primary school attendance for girls has climbed to 98% but only 30% continue on to secondary school and the numbers get lower for senior secondary and Universities.
When 10 percent more women attend school, a country’s GDP increases by three percent on average. This astounding statistic from a study by the World Bank got us thinking and is, in part, the inspiration for our new program – the Kurera Girls First Initiative aimed at helping young women reach their fullest potential. This new program will have a particular emphasis on providing access to education and extra tutoring in the male dominated subjects of science and technology.
