Sri Lanka ... Advanced Level Teaching Project, Kathiraveli, Batticaloa,
This grant supports a remote Sri Lankan village with limited educational opportunities. The results of the 2023 student batch have been remarkable in the context that the village, Kathiraveli, had no entrants to universities for the 5 years prior to the 2022 batch. In 2023, 87% of the students passed, with 42% (13 of 31 students) entering university. This is excellent news and cause for celebration.
The project has provided uplift for the village and is building hope for the youth of the region and their families. The high pass rate is not only increasing the number of students that are being accepted to university, but it is also improving employment opportunities for those that do not wish to pursue further education.
The attached photographs show the parents and the school honouring the students who performed well in their examinations.
Tanzania Educational and Hygiene Support to Girls .
The project goals were to provide training on sexual and reproductive health education to 134 primary school girls from Mumbi and Mpera primary schools. The training aimed at helping primary school pupils to understand the changes that their bodies go during puberty, resist peer pressure, delay their first experience of sex and understand sexual transmission diseases.
The training covered topics such as sexually transmitted infections, contraceptives; sexual and reproductive health; pregnancy and menstruation; gender and current life skills. It was based on interactive teaching methods and approaches including story-telling, flipchart pictures, competitions, drama, and role-play, so as to create an exciting and stimulating learning environment.
The project provided essential educational materials to 87 schoolgirls (36 and 51 from the Mpera and Mumbi primary schools, respectively) coming from poor and deprived families. The education materials provided included textbooks, pens, exercises books, pair of uniforms and shoes. Lack of education needs and materials is one of the significant reasons for drop-out of primary school pupils in this area. By doing this, the project was able to restore pupils’ smile and motivation to continue with classes and increase completion rate.
