Peer-to-Peer Tutoring (P2P)

We ran four P2P programs this term, training up 20 Senior High School (SHS) tutors and impacting approximately 120 Junior High School (JHS) students.

 

Two of our partnerships were brand new, so these students show the short-term effects of receiving after-school tutoring:

Adanwomase JHS: improved 49% in English and .01% in Maths

Gyinyase JHS: improved 34% in English and 14% in Maths

 

The other school partnerships have been in our programs in previous school terms, and their grades continue to improve!

Antoa JHS: improved 70% in English and 55% im Maths

Model JHS: improved 10.6% in English and 32.3% in Maths

Entrepreneurship

This term we launched our pilot Entrepreneurship program. The participating students

 

> defined what it is to be an entrepreneur

> identified key skills to start their own business 

> discovered entrepreneurs and role models in their own communities.

 

The program culminated in each student designing their own business plan, which they pitched to their classmates. They came up with very practical ideas, from opening a bakery to selling solar lamps.

GirlsLEAP

Our GirlsLEAP program is designed to empower and impact more people every term. Term 2 was the mentorship section of the program.

 

The girls brought the lessons they learned on leadership, gender, self-esteem, and sexual harassment to the neighboring JHS schools, putting their new skills in leadership to the test by becoming role-models for the younger girls they mentored. This way, the SHS participants find practical application for the work they did last term, and the impact of GirlsLEAP extends to 5x as many girls.
