FastTrackEducation forGambia Women&Girls

We will be provide fast track classes in literacy, mobile literacy (learning through texting), tailoring, computing, English and other subjects to thousands of women and girls, many of  internally displaced persons.

Lack of education deprives women of opportunity and prevents them from gaining equal standing in society. Refugee women and internally displaced persons  miss out on years of learning, making it harder to restart their education. 

Women need to develop their abilities and be appreciated for what they can contribute. They need literacy, numeracy and to develop critical thinking skills. They also need income- generating skills training to give them the opportunity to start businesses.

women and girls  get the chance to catch up on years of missed schooling, studying for grade certificates on a fast track basis. They can learn income- generating skills such as tailoring and computing and they can then set up small businesses or get jobs. They gain respect, their capacity is recognized and their ideas are sought in family and community.

Thousands of women and girls who are  IDPs will become literate and gain other education. Some will mainstream into government schools at age-appropriate grade levels; some will get work.

We aim to empower women in the local community by providing support in income generation activities through vocational training, including specific training in tailoring and IT skills to gain better access to employment and facilitate an improved quality of life and a reduction in overall rates of inequality and poverty.

Windows/ DOS 

Using the mouse, managing various windows, alternating between the use of
keyboard and mouse, minimizing windows, opening and closing files, etc. can be
daunting tasks for the uninitiated ones. However, familiarization with the parts
and functions of the computer 

This is the most basic of all skills. It involves typing basically, but when using
computers, it deviates a little from the common typewriter. There is the enter key
replacing the career movement and there are commands (simple ones) for
paragraph, indent, spacing and so on. The best of word processing is that you can
modify with ease any part of the text you entered. The word processing is the
minimum one should know because it will be used in each and every application
of computers

• Definition of the word information technology
• Definition of a computer
• Key words related to the definition of a computer.
• Types of computers
• Definition of a computer system and Disadvantages of using a computer
• Elements of computer
• Some uses of computer
Direct Input devices (Keyboard) and functions of the various keys.
• Indirect input devices (Mouse)
• Output devices (e.g. Monitors, printers etc.)
• Knowledge about disk drives
• Storage devices and their types
• Rules of handling diskette

To makes sure over 257,000 children pass and do well in their Basic School

To promote Girl Child education and to prevent teenage pregnancy in the rural
areas and local communities in Gambia

 Our  team has planned to work very hard
to reach not less than 80% of the schools in Gambia  in educating them on the need
not to take education for granted. 

Empowering girls is one of our major priority, taking them through training and
self-development by letting them understand who they are and what they can
become in future. That they should believe in themselves and study hard, work
hard, it doesn’t matter where they come from. We also let them know that there
is more in them that they can do and become more powerful and that they should
not take no for an answer, but rather think of becoming better persons in the
future to make Gambia and Africa  proud. We have inspired more than 4300 girls in
the rural areas, region and the city of Gambia. We have donated more than 5400
sanitary pads to young girls in schools in Gambia. 

Cultural Norms and Expectations where these expectations are Household duties,
the care of family members, early marriages, and early childbirth are all factors
that contribute to girl child missing out on the educational process. In some
cultures, the norms and traditions do not necessitate the education of these girls in
such situation hence girls’ education may be lower on a family’s list of priorities. It
is to this that we are creating the advocacy on providing the necessary help for
these girls. Girl Child education goes beyond attending school. It has everything to
do with ensuring that girls learn more about social life and feel safe while building

We take it upon ourselves to make sure every girl child understands
that, it is very important for them to learn socio-emotional skills, take sensitive
decisions about their own lives and also contribute to their local community. Girl
child education is our strategic development priority in Gambia and Africa.
Also, we have procured sanitary pads which we would be giving to females to curb
the situation of avoiding school when they are in their menstrual periods. 

 The capacity
development training's will enable our  organisation to perform and manage the projects
better which gives vital resources to the rural community.

 a literate girl means an educated mother for tomorrow. It is likely that an educated mother
will educate her children whether they are boys or girls. An educated mother also brings up
healthier babies and intends to have fewer children through better family planning. It
appears even in rural villages that the families with educated mothers are economically and
socially in better positions and they participate in local community development and debate.
This means educating girls brings a better return for short term as well as longer term in
any community and it is a more reliable and sustainable way to break the poverty circle
