Promote Girls Education

SAYAP AFRICA TACKLES NEW CHALLENGES WITH CUTTING EDGE SOLUTIONS

We believe we can help bridge a future for everyone in Africa. We have ideas to pair engineers with subject matter expert abroad or locally by building tools that accelerate social progress especially in the area of education, and that of the girls in scientific programs

GIRLS’ EDUCATION

School gives girls a chance in life, especially in areas of the world where child marriage, early motherhood, and poverty are the only other options. We work to remove obstacles keeping girls from living healthy, empowered lives. Without a good education, youth can’t be a productive force for their countries. One of the challenges that Sayap Africa is taking up front is girls mastering scientific subjects at school and that starts with math and science. We want to see more African girls become engineers, doctors, business owners, and that requires an immersion in technology, a serious curriculum with tools and equipment like computers, access to the internet and books as well as teachers trained in IT and others. If we don’t give them technology with the hardware and connectivity, African children will not be ready for challenges ahead of them. Girls will lead the way if we create lasting solutions

YOUTH EMPOWERMENT

Of the world’s 1.8 billion youth aged 10-25, ninety percent live in developing countries. Sayap Africa provides job training, mentorship and other services to ensure they grow into healthy, productive adults. To be successful we have included marginalized groups: women, people with disabilities, former incarcerated and displaced young men and women as well as youth from different socio backgrounds

OUR EDUCATION AT WORK

Sayap Africa intends to reach more than 3 million students in 40 countries in Africa. We work alongside communities, governments, local associations, and partners international and local organizations at many levels to address all aspects of basic education

Drawing strength from our global reach, decades of international experience of our Founder and CEO, an extensive education portfolio and partnerships, we develop innovative learning solutions and provide educators with the knowledge and skills necessary to fulfill everyone’s needs to learn. We plan to train teachers and other school personnel to improve the quality of education while linking education programs to interventions in health, nutrition and livelihoods to better address the reasons children don’t attend school. We also help communities assess and overcome their unique barriers to learning

WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT

When more women work, economies grow. An increase in female labor force participation or a reduction in the gap between women’s and men’s labor force participation results in faster economic growth. In Africa, 70% of women work in the informal sector. For instance, 75% of garment workers globally are women. Sayap Africa want to ensure that women are respected at work and their voices are heard. Women need training to start a business, access to loans, keeping the books, tools to measure their activities.

The Case for women’s empowerment

Women and girls make up the majority of the 1.5 billion people living in extreme poverty. At Sayap Africa, we are committed to ending poverty by attacking its roots, not only its consequences.

In practice this means that we can’t just build a school, we must ensure that girls’ rights to education are protected. It means providing health information, counseling and testing, but also proving reproductive health information and protection against STD, Sayap Africa will make sure that every individual especially girls’ rights to be free from abuse or violence with be protected.

Sayap Africa is committed to uncovering and transforming the political, social and economic relationships at the heart of poverty. Our work to improve the health and well-being of women and girls is critical to that fight. Women, with Sayap Africa help will create lasting changes in their own lives.

GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE

Globally, one out of three women will be beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused in her lifetime. Sayap Africa is putting in place services locally to support and assist victims and educate community members to prevent further violence. Working with government and local organization to open a local phone line available to victims of domestic violence

CHILD MARRIAGE

Every 30 seconds, 15 girls under the age of 18 got marriage. Child marriage is a tremendous human rights violation that keeps girls out of school, endanger their health and sentences them to a lifetime of poverty and trauma
