Inside a young girl life in Africa

Posted on by September 28, 2009 by Marieme Jamme

Picture a girl named Awa in Africa. Billions of young girls in Africa like Awa are not educated and we are in 2009. If you are familiar with African Rural villages or have been to Africa you will know what I am talking about.

Supporting the 10000 girls project in Senegal – Kaolack is priority today.  We aim to put 10000 girls like Awa in school by 2013. We have more than 2000 girls in scholarship today and 7 centres where more than 50 teachers are teaching to our girls.

Let me tell you that Awa’s life in Africa is extremely uncertain and she has a little choice. She relied on Charity and Aid programs to get Education. Everything is limited for her. Awa is likely to be forced to marry an older man; she will die with HIV aids or cervical cancer and she could be raped or abused or force to prostitution, if not educated she will leave her country hoping for a better life outside. Her life will become increasingly difficult and she basically has no Future.

Education is very important and should be given to young girls like Awa in Africa. When basic education is given not only they will become self reliant, independent, but they will become self-sufficient. Education will improve their lives and align them to the rest of the woman living in this planet.

A sustainable education program combine with new technologies will keep them in Africa and with out a doubt you will increase their confidence.

We can all help Awa get the basics for a better life!
