Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
OUR GIRLS EDUCATION PROGRAM BEGAN IN 2012 WITH 20 GIRLS. TODAY IT SUPPORTS OVER 2000 GIRLS IN MORE THAN 30 VILLAGES AND SLUMS IN RURAL BANGLADESH. THESE GIRLS ARE AMONG THE POOREST AND MOST MARGINALIZED PEOPLE IN AN ALREADY IMPOVERISHED COUNTRY. OUR PROGRAM PROVIDES DAILY TUTORING BOOKS AND SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND MONTHLY EDUCATION SEMINARS. BANGLADESH HAS THE HIGHEST RATE OF CHILD MARRIAGE IN THE WORLD FOR GIRLS UNDER 15 AND WITHOUT INTERVENTION THESE GIRLS ARE AT RISK OF BEING MARRIED AND DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL. OUR GEP SEEKS TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY AND CHILD MARRIAGE BY GIVING GIRLS THE MEANS TO STAY IN SCHOOL. WORKING WITH FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES WE ARE BUILDING A NEW UNDERSTANDING OF THE POTENTIAL FOR EDUCATED GIRLS AND ARE SEEKING TO TRANSFORM THE WAY ENTIRE REGIONS THINK ABOUT POOR GIRLS.
AS PART OF OUR GIRLS EDUCATION PROGRAM WE OPERATE DORMS WHERE GIRLS FROM THE REMOTE VILLAGES CAN COME PURSUE HIGHER EDUCATION. ALL OF OUR OCCUPANCY EXPENSES RELATE TO THE BUILDINGS WHICH HOUSE THE DORMS. THE DORMS ALSO PROVIDE A SAFE PLACE FOR GIRLS TO COME AND STAY IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS SUCH AS ABUSE OR IMMEDIATE THREAT OF CHILD MARRIAGE.
WE FUNDED ALINGON HOME A SAFE HOME FOR GIRLS RESCUED FROM THE BROTHEL THEIR MOTHERS ARE SEX WORKERS. WITHOUT INTERVENTION THESE GIRLS WOULD BECOME THE NEXT GENERATION OF SEX WORKERS. OUR GOAL IS TO DO OUR PART OF ENSURE THAT NO GIRL IS FORCED INTO PROSTITUTION AND TO SEE THAT GIRLS RESCUED OR REMOVED FROM ABUSIVE SITUATIONS HAVE SAFE HOMES WHERE THEY CAN THRIVE.
