Every day, girls face barriers to education caused by poverty, cultural norms and practices, poor infrastructure, violence and fragility. Girls’ education is a strategic development priority for RABNI.
RABNI’s commitment. to Girls’ education goes beyond getting girls into school. It is also about ensuring that girls learn and feel safe while in school; have the opportunity to complete all levels of education, acquiring the knowledge and skills to compete in the labor market; gain socio-emotional and life skills necessary to navigate and adapt to a changing world; make decisions about their own lives; and contribute to their communities and the world.
Advocacy
Through social advocacy, connecting with representatives, petitions, volunteering, educating the communities and other events, RABNI advances a positive response from all stakeholders on girls getting enrolled, and staying in school.
Capacity Development
RABNI works essentially on training and capacity building for women and girls in vulnerable situations in working-class urban/peri-urban and rural areas. Our programs empower women and girls and provides opportunities for their leadership, such that they are able to participate in decision-making processes that have direct impact on their own survival and wellbeing.
Scholarships & Mentorship
Through strategic partnerships with donors and women professionals we offer scholarships to girls from vulnerable underserved communities and mentoring programs.
