Theatre for a Change has been funded by the DFID Girl’s Education Challenge (GEC) programme to run a 2.5 year project entitled ‘Empowering young female teachers to create inclusive learning environments for marginalised girls.’ Through improved training of female teachers to create girl-friendly learning environments and promote girls’ greater awareness of Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) and their rights, and through greater parental and community support and engagement, the project will improve girls’ SRH and thus their retention, achievement and learning at school. The project combines teacher training, community mobilisation, innovative approaches to sexual and reproductive health education and interactive radio broadcasts.
