• Personal Background

  SKIP works with 142 families and 346 children. SKIP aims to increase the number of children in this district completing primary education and either finishing secondary education or finding training/employment. SKIP intends to achieve these aims by: • Fully financing the education (fees, uniforms, materials) for every child in the programme. • Providing a complementary educational programme to reinforce learning at school and help with homework • Implementing educational workshops with parents covering a diverse range of subjects from parenting skills to breast cancer awareness to healthy eating. • Developing projects that involve the parents in service provision (parents currently help in the primary programmes and a parent committee provides feedback on programme satisfaction and requested development). • Granting microfinance loans for small business development and home improvements. • Providing business workshops, such as in basic accounting. As well as providing handicraft workshops for parents, including help with sales and product development. • Making available counselling services
