Girls are at greater risk of dropping out of school to attend to household chores or contribute to family livelihood. EERU Initiative seeks to :

• Work with community leaders to identify out- of- school girls to provide them with literacy, numeracy and other skills relevant for life and work engagements and where possible return them to formal schooling.

• Hold regular empowerment forums with girls and parents to create an enabling environment that instils confidence in the girls and enhance their transition from one academic stage to another.

• Facilitate a program where graduating secondary school girls go back to their rural schools to empower the young girls and teach them on issues around resilience, goal setting .
