These groups challenge harmful practices such as female genital mutilation and early marriages known to prevent girls\u2019 education. They also identify out of school girls, and facilitate their enrollment and retention in school.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Poverty is one of many factors preventing girls\u2019 re-enrollment in school and continuity of education. With the added financial hardships caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, families are forced to consider alternative means to make ends meet, most often at the expense of education.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">According to a report compiled by head teachers from schools in the area through the Ministry of Education, 25% of learners are yet to report back to school. This is especially the case for the majority of girls and young women, many of whom have dropped out of school due to adolescent pregnancy and early marriage.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cWith the resources received from the Prize, we were able to visit families weekly instead of monthly, and move from one village to another with ease to reach more girls\u201d, said Mary Tanny, a community facilitator.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">The work of Girl Child Network is also transforming perceptions on girls\u2019 education within communities and families.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\">Since becoming a laureate of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.unesco.org\/themes\/women-s-and-girls-education\/prize\">UNESCO Prize for Girls\u2019 and Women\u2019s Education<\/a> in 2020, Girl Child Network has strengthened its work to increase girls\u2019 access to education in Kenya\u2019s hardest-to-reach areas.
