Those of us with public school for all sometimes forget that’s not the case everywhere. Kenya for example.
Church World Service’s Safe School Zones has partnered with ten Kenyan schools to develop “creative and sustainable solutions that have broken some of the challenges that children, especially girls, face when attempting to complete their education.”
Isolation, cultural expectations and early marriage keep many girls out of school.
Lord God, we pray that you will empower Church World Service and other ministries open the doors so girls in Kenya and elsewhere can attend school safely. May this education improve the futures of the students, their families and communities.
