children and adolescents benefit from the education project

2

languages. Training is provided in local language and in French to be in line with realities and needs.

This project is aimed at young people (50% of whom are girls) who have never been to school.

In 4 years, they acquire the knowledge corresponding to the first 5 years of basic education in the public-school system, to allow them to be admitted after having completed E2C or to begin an apprenticeship with a view to their integration in the job market. Education is bilingual (local language and French). Particular attention is paid to the fact that 50% of the pupils are girls. Their parents agree in writing to leave their daughters in school for 4 years, in order to avoid early marriages during school time.

It is this aspect of the project that has particularly attracted the attention of the Hermann Foundation: training as an instrument to combat early marriage and thus avoid the precarious and socio-economic marginalization of young girls, often mothers too soon.
