Phase three:Alternatives and new Perspectives for drop-outs and illiterate girls

  
       
Two interventions have been successfully designed for two categories of girls:

Intervention one: ENROLLMENT CAMP (for drop-outs, aged between 6-14 yrs.)

Intervention two: “LEARN AND EARN MODEL” (for illiterate girls, aged obove 14 yrs.)

      
Depending on the situation two main interventions have been successfully designed. These interventions have been designed for two categories of girls: Category one, who left the school before completing but still are interested in joining formal education (usually aged between 6-14 yrs.). Category two, who are either school drop-outs or who were never enrolled but due to their age or personal biases refuse to go back to the formal system (usually aged obove 14 yrs.)


Intervention one: Enrollment Camp

  

This is a twenty-one day residential camp organized for school drop-out girls who need personal attention and counseling. These girls are made to stay together in the camp and participate in various activities which help them to realize the importance of education and learn important life and work skills. During this period they are motivated to go through a process of self-actualization which enables them to get back into the formal education system. At the end of each camp these girls are enrolled in their respective schools.
  
                 
   
 


Intervention two: “LEARN AND EARN” – Model

This Model provides skill training for school drop-out girls and those who have never been to school. These trainings include enhancement in life skills (family life education, leadership, communication, management etc.) as well as work skills (candle making, block printing, tie and dye, chalk making, plumbering, construction and electricity work, natural resource based activities etc.). The aim of this model is to build up their self-confidence and improve their economic status and finally mainstream them in the formal education system.
