- P Project/Program
? Activity Status: Unknown
Key Information
Bridge transition schools allow children who have not been previously enrolled in the formal education system to catch up with their peers, then continue their education in the formal school system. In just four to six months, Barefoot fills the gaps in these children’s knowledge, from mathematics to social sciences, geography and English. Over the past 30 years, more than 4,000 children—including 1,250 girls—have chosen to continue their formal education after the Bridge course, often continuing onto college.
