At Stop Child Abuse (SCA), a Refugee-led organization, we believe that educating girls is one of the most powerful tools to break cycles of poverty, abuse, and inequality.

In the Kakuma and Kalobeyei Refugee Camps, where thousands of displaced women and girls face immense challenges, we are working tirelessly to ensure access to quality education, safety, and empowerment.

Why Girls’ Education Matters in Refugee Settings

In Kakuma and Kalobeyei, girls often miss school due to:
✔️ Child marriage & early pregnancies – Pressures to marry young cut education short.
✔️ Gender-based violence (GBV) – Fear of abuse keeps girls at home.
✔️ Household burdens – Many girls are forced into domestic work instead of studying.
✔️ Lack of resources – Few schools have menstrual hygiene facilities or female teachers.

But when girls are educated, entire communities thrive. Educated women:

• Earn higher incomes, lifting families out of poverty.
• Marry later, reducing child abuse risks.
• Become leaders, advocating for safer, stronger societies.

SCA’s Work: Empowering Girls Through Education

As a refugee-led organization, we understand the unique struggles of displaced girls. Here’s how we’re making a difference:

1. Safe Learning Spaces for Girls

• We support girl-friendly schools with:
• Sanitary pads & hygiene kits to keep girls in class.
• Female mentors & teachers as role models.
• Safe transportation to prevent harassment.

2. Ending Child Marriage & GBV Through Awareness

• We run community dialogues with parents, elders, and boys to challenge harmful norms.
• Legal aid & counseling help girls escape forced marriages.
• Boys’ engagement programs teach respect and gender equality.

3. Scholarships & Vocational Training

• We provide tuition support for girls at risk of dropping out.
• Tailoring, coding, and business skills training offer alternative paths to success.

4. Mental Health & Leadership Development

• Trauma counseling helps girls heal from abuse.
• Girls’ clubs build confidence and public speaking skills.
• Youth advocacy trains girls to demand policy changes.

Success Stories: Girls Who Are Changing Their Futures

• Amina, 16, escaped early marriage with SCA’s help and now leads a girls’ rights club.
• Grace, 19, learned tailoring and supports her family while finishing school.
• Naomi, 17, advocates for menstrual health in her school, keeping more girls in class.
