Matombo Girls Hostel

There are Several factors affecting girls‟ in education at rural areas

One is staying far distance from school.

Severa factors has been discussed by different literatures by various education stakeholders, however the location of the school has been little discussed, though it has great effects on girls‟ education. The long distance from home to school posed great worries to parents about girls' schooling, since many cases of raping

and early preginances have been reported to face girls who walk long distance to school. This is one of significant challenges, particularly in poor rural areas (UNESCO, 2003). 

Security challenges girls‟ education, particularly in rural areas where girls have to walk a long distance to school, thus poor security to girls on their way to school, it is considered by parents to be a threat to their daughters (LaFraniere, 2006). Also, the study by Franiere (2006) revealed that the distance from home to school should be considered when selecting the school for girl‟s education, but for matombo area this is the only school which has advanced level of Secondary School

the schools located in a far distance tend to lower the security to girl students. The study conducted by Sipahimanlani (1999) revealed that distance from home is an important factor for girls‟ school attendance in Pakistan; whereby female literacy rate increases in the areas where primary schools were more than one kilometre away from homes. This illustrates that when the distance from home to school decreases, there is an increase in girls‟ enrolment and academic performance, attendance and academic performance.

The second event was also reported in one Swahili newspaper in the country. Grace Nzongo is a Form Two student at Chanzuru secondary school in Kilosa district, who revealed that despite her passion for education, there are a number of hindrances toward reaching her dream in education. Grace had to walk a total distance of 30 kilometers (15 kilometers each way) every day to and from school, which hindered her to concentrate on studies due to tiredness. She had to wake up at 5 am and reaches school at 9 am, finding the first period is over. This situation has continuously been affecting her academic performance

To build girls hostel at Matombo Secondary School. The solution will bring protection to the girls at Matombo Reduce early pregnancy and improve academic performance The study by World Bank (1993) conducted in Algeria makes the case clear. The study found that the rate of enrolment for girls was 84% when a school was located in less than 1 kilometer away from home. However, girls' enrolment has been dropping drastically to 25%, when the school was located more than 5 kilometres away from homes. From 21st to 31st 2012, Tanzania Gender Network Programme (TGNP) followed up gender-related problems facing female citizens in rural areas in Iringa. There were many challenges mentioned however early pregnancy among girl students at Iwalanje community secondary school became prominent.The school is located very far from the students‟ homes. Students walk between 4 to 8 kilometers from their villages to school. In order to be close to school, several students hired rooms famously known to them as „ghetto‟. Living in such environment girls spend a lot of time to fetch water and firewood for cooking their meals, and other distracting issues instead of concentrating on studies (UNICEF, 2001). In these „ghettos‟ a mixed of ordinary community secondary school members, boys and girls live together, which has lead girls to be influenced to 4 immoral behaviours. This has led them to failure in academics, face sexual abuse such as rape, early pregnancy, and threats of contracting HIV/AIDS and other Sexually Transmitted Infections. The second event was also reported in one Swahili newspaper in the country. 

The solution improves girls‟ education at Matombo.
 one of the best solutions for solving the challenges is the construction of the schools of residential areas or establishing girls‟ hostels close or within the school premises (Malese & Seifu, 2008). These strategies will provide security to girls, and encourage parents to take their daughter to school, since the strategies will reduce the time spent by girls on walking the long distance to school (Tilak, 2003). The presence of the hostels have been improving girl‟s academic performance in Ethiopia, where by girls now have opportunities to attend classes every day and on time, thus they have enough time to c

participate in learning activeties (Malese & Seifu, 2008). Also, the study by Nteko(2007) revealed that availability of hostels in public secondary schools in Sengerema District improved girls academic performance compred to the time when the schools had not have hostels.

that the basic needs of students remain unfulfilled and hence they do not have better academic performance (Adams, 1996). The low socio-economic status causes environmental deficiencies which result in low self-esteem of students (US Department of Education, 2003). 

1. The distance from home to school is another challenge associated girls‟ poor performance. Long distances make girls tired and get sleep for the most of the time particularly if they are undernourished. Long distance from home to school leads to irregular attendances, mainly those who are sick and when it rains. Lack of learning materials such as textbooks, poor teaching methods like teacher centred, laziness among girls, too much domestic activities and shortage of extra time for discussion with other students also are other factors that lead to poor performance of girls in community secondary schools. Thus, they are likely to perform less as well. The poor performance of girls in community secondary schools in Tanzania is a problem which needs examination and immediate solutions. As a solution of these problems, various efforts have been undertaken by the government to improve girls‟ education, of which one is to construct hostels particularly for girls in every community secondary schools so as to ensure safety and security to girls, reduce distance to and from school, provides extra time on private studies and doing assignments, provides extra time on discussing with others, reduce time spent on household domestic chores (URT, 2010). The respondents argue on the absence of the hostels is the main cause of the girls' poor academic performance. In view of the fact that girls walk the long distance to school where they are exposed to early pregnancy and do not have enough time to work on their assignments due to domestic activities, also some of the girls when at home they involve in drugs abuse (Mwakalunde, 2013). The risks which encounter girls, who are day scholars have led to the need of constructing girls‟ hostels in every community secondary schools in Tanzania, so as to raise girls' academic performance in every public secondary school. With the aim of improving the academic performance of girls, 

Our team is the best team to deliver the solution because first we know the area very well

We build hostels on the request of community elders, and together with the rural communities. Communities contribute labour, and as we hand over the hostels to them,

As education improves mother‟s knowledge and use health practices, every additional year of schooling is anticipated to lower the mortality rate of children aged below 5 years by 10%. Moreover, educated women follow family planning, thus majority of them have fewer children whom can afford to send them to school (Malese & Seifu, 2008). 

This is the significance of education for the entire community. On the other hand, girls, unlike boys, face many challenges that have effects on their education. The factors affecting girls' education are rooted in the cultural, social and economic challenges of the society (UNICEF, 2003).

Various studies had revealed that education for women plays very crucial role in the socio-economic development of communities and country at large, for the reason that it has vital effects on the families in particular and the society at large education provided to men (Malese & Seifu, 2008). It has been observed with various notions that education for a boy, is education for a single person, but education for a girl is education for the entire society (Aggrawal, 2004). Thus, education for girls is crucial for development of any society in both developed and developing countries, and must be more emphasized not only on the justifying of social justice but also because it helps social transformation. The benefits of education for girls were well documented in the literature, thus there is more than enough studies that demonstrate that education raising the production and income of both men and women (World Bank, 1993). Hans (2003) argues that education has more positive effects to women; educated women have healthier, fewer, and more educated children. As education improves mother‟s
