Leonard Cheshire Programme Manager Jobs in Kisumu Kenya

Leave No Girl Behind-Education for Life Project (EfL)

The exciting Education for Life (EfL) project in Kenya takes a holistic multi-pronged approach aiming to ultimately address barriers affecting out of school girls (OOSGs).

Existing interventions in the project counties will focus improving the learning environment in schools and catch up centres to reach more OOSGs.

The EfL project will, therefore focus on key economic, socio-cultural pressures and the need to improve teaching environments to be more gender sensitive and inclusive of OOSGs, delivering sustainable impacts for the girls the project will be supporting and working with.
