The average girl misses at least one day of school every month
One day of school every month equals 6 hours of instructional time. A thousand girls will miss 6,000 hours monthly and, 60,000 hours yearly. Our daughters are being left behind. Unacceptable!
The overall goal of the project is to facilitate the safety, health and education of girls in Liberia.
