ADDITIONALLY, WE CONTINUED SUPPORTING 44 APPRENTICES WHO FOLLOWED A LESS FORMAL EDUCATIONAL TRACK IN ORDER TO PURSUE A VOCATION. WE PROCURED 50 SOLAR STUDY LAMPS FROM A LOCAL NONPROFIT IN DAPAONG AND DISTRIBUTED THEM TO GIRLS LIVING IN HOMES WITHOUT ELECTRICITY SO THEY CAN STUDY AT NIGHT. WE ALSO CONTINUED TO PROVIDE BASIC HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE THAT ALLOWS THE GIRLS TO ACCESS URGENT CARE CLINICS, AND IN ORDER TO PREVENT ABSENTEEISM FROM SCHOOL, WE PROVIDED MENSTRUAL PADS TO ALL THE GIRLS. WE ALSO PROVIDED 100 GIRLS WITH NEW SCHOOL UNIFORMS. FURTHERMORE, WE ADDED DORMITORY CAPACITY TO OUR COMMUNITY CENTER IN DAPAONG SO THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS COULD STUDY LATE INTO THE NIGHT WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT HAVING TO WALK HOME AFTER CURFEW. THANKS TO A GRANT FROM THE US EMBASSY IN LOM, TOGO, WE ALSO PROVIDED FORMAL TUTORING SERVICES TO 205 GIRLS SO THEY COULD PREPARE FOR THEIR HIGH STAKES EXAM.
