The educational inequality faced by female youth in rural areas is a pressing issue that Re-Build Scholars aims to address. Currently, nearly 30% of secondary school-age girls are out of school compared to 21% of boys, highlighting a significant gender gap. Our recent baseline survey in Kumi district revealed that many families depend on subsistence farming, earning less than $1 per day, which intensifies the challenges posed by underlying poverty. Cultural norms further exacerbate this issue, as families often prioritize boys’ education, viewing girls primarily as sources of income through early marriage and household labor. Consequently, many girls drop out after lower secondary education despite their eagerness to learn, severely limiting their opportunities for higher education and perpetuating a cycle of unemployment and poverty.The future success of the African continent hinges on harnessing the skills and talents of its youth; however, income disparities prevent girls in rural areas from accessing quality educational opportunities.
