Mother groups in Malawi s schools help to prevent girls from dropping out | D+C

Nowadays © stepmap.de Girls starting primary school in Malawi faces daunting odds. According to the UN Population Fund (UNFPA), only about 25 % of them actually complete primary school. Nearly 60 % drop out for a variety of reasons related to poverty, lack of motivation and poor sanitary facilities. Another 15 % leave school specifically because of pregnancy and/or marriage. On top of this, about 20 % of Malawian girls under 18 experience rape or other sexual violence, the UN agency says in a report titled “Mother groups – underutilised resource in girls’ education in Malawi”. The agency aims to improve maternal and reproductive health worldwide. To improve the odds that Malawi’s schoolgirls will stay the course, UNFPA and the Malawi Education Ministry sponsor “mother groups” – circles of about 10 adult female volunteers attached to schools, which advise girls to remain in class and help them to do so.
