Working with the school community to prevent the drop-out of indigenous girls from school. We support life skills development, gender equality and changes in the norms and social expectations around girls' future.
Project objectives
Raise awareness among educational authorities and community leaders about the risks of girls dropping out of school.
Strengthen the capacity of teachers to use didactic tools with a gender perspective across their various school activities, providing teachers participatory, experiential and playful workshops.
Change attitudes and develop resilience behaviors for coexistence and human development with gender equity, creating an ideal scenario to provide sexual education in a way that takes into account the context.
Increase support networks in the community to prevent girls from dropping out of school.
Increase enrollment and retention of girls in middle schools.
