The challenge
Why this matters
There are few public or private schools in these areas, and transport is limited. Many girls stop after primary school because families cannot afford or feel safe sending them to distant high schools.

Questions about this programme
Can GDO's schools give degrees?
No. GDO's education work covers basic, non-formal and adult literacy; as stated in our objectives, we do not act as a degree-awarding institute.
