Improving girls education in our neighboring developing countries is a focus of our club and Rotary overall. This is a proven way to help the disadvantaged and lift women out of poverty. To get an education girls need to attend school.
Lack of adequate toilets is a major barrier, and providing quality toilets is a practical way to solve this problem. Often girls stop attending school when they begin to menstruate, and the provision of toilets is essential. We also work with Days for Girls to provide female hygiene products.
Many young women are now able to attend school every day and have a much brighter future as a result of our past projects.
