The project provides financial support for the studies of 16 girls from Koulbila College, aged 13 to 18, coming from families in social distress. Koulbila College, built by BnD in 2012, hosts about 300 students, divided into 4 classes, from 6éme to 3éme. The female student body is significantly smaller than the male one, as girls are often required to perform care and domestic work within the family. However, the most serious issue is early and forced marriage, which affects girls from poorer families. There have been cases of school abandonment by girls who, after one or two years of attendance, were "sold" and sent off to marriage due to their families' extreme poverty. Supporting the education of girls provides an incentive for families to allow them to complete their studies. Education plays an important social role and allows girls the opportunity for personal and social emancipation.

Your monthly support can help ensure secondary primary education for 10 more girls from vulnerable families, in line with the Conventions on the Rights of the Child and the Agenda of the new 2030 Development Goals.
