Community involvement in scholar selection means no dropouts in first two terms.
Botswana and Swaziland
Orphaned scholars and Basarwa San girls never had uniforms before.
Many dropped out in the past due to stigma and because they lacked uniforms.
Orphanaid included uniforms along with school fees as part of the AEI-AGSP scholarship.
Now these girls are no longer identifiable by their clothing; they go to school and perform
just like other students.
Local partners worked with the local communities to ensure
community participation in the scholar selection process.
All the girls selected as AEI-AGSP primary school scholars
by their communities were still in school at the end of the second term.
This page will be updated periodically to show you more pictures of the
AEI-AGSP local partner project managers of region 3 and the work they are
doing to provide basic education for primary school girls.
