Education and resources in Kenya.

Challenges that face girl child education in developing countries.
Education in emergencies is a critical intervention in the promotion of gender equality. It can create opportunities for girls and women for cognitive development and individual empowerment that may not have existed before. Beyond this education opportunities can help to improve the status of women and girls in society. Women and girls participation is critical in post-emergency recovery, reconstruction and peace-building efforts and gender-responsive education programmes that give girls opportunities to learn new skills & develop their confidence help to have the way in this process.
When schools are destroyed and children have to fraud long and possibly dangerous distances to attend the nearest function facility, girls are more likely to stay at home.
When schools are damaged or just not maintained and no sanitary facilities exist, girls and especially adolescent girls are disproportionately affected; they may have to miss school during menstruation.
Boys may be at risk of abduction and forced to recruitment by fighting forces at school or on their way to and from school, but girls may also be at increased risk of abduction and sexual violence and exploitation.
In emergencies, there are usually for fewer women who are able to volunteer as teachers and girls are disproportionately affected when schools are dominated by men.
Where parents are unable to pay school fees and buy the necessary supplies, boys may be more able- and it may be safer for them-to go out and engage in income-generating activities to pay their own school fees than girls.
For refugees, IDPs and other affected by crises, the symbolic power of education as a force on change and as passport to a different and better life is particularly strong; children often want to go school, whatever the costs.
Girls who are desperate to attend school and to get good grades may have to engage in transactional sex with older men-and even teachers in order to pay their fees, cover the costs of supplies and ensure good guides, thus exposing them to higher risks of STD’s and HIV/AIDS infection.
Children who are separated from their families and living in temporary condition with relatives or foster families, may lack the support and encouragement to continue their education. These are especially the case on girls who are expected to do household chores and have no time to study.
Teenage pregnancy rates are often very high in refugee and IDP camps, and girls with their own babies may not be able to attend school because of exclusion policies, social stigma, no extended family to provide childcare, lack of appropriate facilities.
Girls who are disabled, disfigured or severely mentally affected by the crisis are likely to be kept at home, possibly even hidden from outsiders and very unlikely to be able to go to school.
