SALMA BABU: If you
go to the clubs, you
see that the girls have
lost hope. Maybe
they thought getting
pregnant was the end
of everything. The
pregnant girls think
that If they go back
to school they will be
a laughingstock.
So, in the club we
give them this
courage that pushes
them back to school.

AMINATA KARGBO: I'm happy because, since I joined the
club I meet other girls my age. They helped me understand
why it’s important to stay in school.

SALMA BABU: Giving a closer look at the communities we
are working in, you find that most of the girls are left out. In
villages, they’re supposed to only be inside the house and
don’t have the chance to meet the others. There are some
girls who can’t even like communicate to their parents if
they have a problem. We taught them that no matter the
age, we have the strength in us, we can stand, we can
be somewhere.

MBALU: I really want to make an impression on my sibling,
that's why I give the education such an important place. Some
people told me that I would never get an education because
my parents are poor. So right now, I’ll show them that I can do
what I set out to do. That’s why I’m staying school.
