The Gender Equitable Education Programme (GEEP) seeks to promote access to education and increase the retention and completion rates of adolescent girls in grades seven through nine. 5,000 girls have benefitted from the programme. The GEEP programme offers a two-hour academic tutorial four days a week, providing extra support to students who are at risk of dropping out due to limited family support, or low learning performance in the four core subjects of mathematics, science, social studies and language arts.  In addition, the GEEP programme also provides life and leadership skills for girls through an all-girls club established at each school in which it is implemented. Profits from small-scale income generation activities by the Girls Clubs go toward the purchase of learning material or paying school fees and supporting girls’ return to school.
