YOU CAN MAKE A CHANGE
IN THE LIFE
OF ONE CHILDTODAY
Mobilizing Mothers
Another innovation is establishing local associations of mothers of girl students. Known as comités des mères des élèves filles or COMEFs, these associations work to improve girls’ access to learning and to ensure that they stay in school until they complete their primary education.
COMEF mothers, often with no education themselves, can be the most passionate and effective advocates for the education of their daughters.
Education for Protection
Education helps protect girls – including from the child labour to which young girls are subjected. It reduces early marriage, and decreases infant and child mortality. Armed with an education, girls contribute to a fairer and more inclusive community.
