Community fairs give girls in Zimbabwe a pathway back to school, and much more
The community fairs being rolled out across Zimbabwe are bringing adolescent girls and children with disability who are out of school closer to their dreams by providing them with clear and practical pathways to enroll in school.
The Integrated community service fairs, implemented by the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education and implemented by UNICEF, are providing much more than just information on pathways to the classroom for adolescent girls.
At Maboleke Secondary School, experts and community workers offered guidance and counselling on issues ranging from sexual and reproductive health and rights to menstrual health, how to avoid risky behaviours, Gender-Based-Violence, identifying and reporting abuse, civil registration and career guidance.
