Teacher Aid Safe Houses for teenage girl pupils
PROJECT DESCRIPTION

We have started this project from our own fundraising. The first Safe building is erected and it's interior is being worked on now. We would like to build 2 more. During school closure from COVID, 8 bright girls were pregnant. This demonstrates the need for housing near the school, to experience a protected and educated future. 4 senior girls want to be doctors. 12 clever girls are excited at being professionals but no support parents and local sex hungry men. Male dominance prevalent!
