Nomadic Girl Child Education Tracking

Through this project problems of high number of Nomadic girls enrolling to start their education with only a few completing shall be adequately addressed, enhancing their literacy knowledge, skills and ability to actively participate in community, national and global development. Myriad challenges of early forced marriages, early pregnancies, child labor, gender disparities, poverty, unsafe livelihoods shall be addressed through education.

The Tech - Driven education tracker shall take into account headcount of Nomadic girls who enrol to Pre - Primary to Primary education, their continuity in every class term per term and individual girl child transition to Secondary schools, Colleges and Universities.

Through this, a highly knowledgeable and competent manpower with impactful skills vital for global development shall be attained, enhancing ability to address social, economic, cultural and political matters key in human development. 

Early Pregnancies: From Kenya National Bureau of Statistics Survey of 2017, 1in every 5 girls have experienced early pregnancy between the age of 15-19 and Narok County which is a Nomadic Community County that we intend to pilot our project topped the 47 Counties of the Republic of Kenya with 40% cases of early pregnancies.

This Early Pregnancies are a recipe of Early Marriages as victims do not in most cases go back to complete their education leading to forced marriages to even elderly men who can be of their father's or grandfather's age, polygamy notwithstanding.

 Child Labor is another recipe where young mother's are forced to look for menial jobs to fend for their children. So because of desperation and cheap labor people tend to give them jobs.

 Prostitution of exchange of sex for money becomes the order of the day, as need of survival is inevitable.

 High maternal and child mortality rates as a result of lack of affordability of medical care, accessibility.

Continuous unbroken chains of poverty, unsafe livelihoods, gender disparities and traditional and cultural practices such as female genital mutilation as a result of lack of knowledge of the challenges associated with such practices.

Tracking enrollment of Nomadic girls in schools, their individual progress, Continuity and transition.

Prompt addressing of any vices or challenge that may hamper their smooth transition from one level to another.

Development of a Tracking App to be shared to all enrollment schools and local leaders.

The target population is mainly of young girls between the ages of 4 years enrolling to Pre - Primary Schools all through to the age of 24 of Universities ongoin and graduated students. It shall include Primary and Secondary schools as well.

Through the Nomadic Girl Child Education Project they shall be actively involved and peer educators shall be mould amongst them for them to fully embrace the initiative and be responsible for the project success.

The solution shall quickly identify their need promptly and astutely through networking and partnership with relevant stakeholders address any challenge to ensure that the Nomadic Girl child education shall continue smoothly.

Nomadic girl child education tracking shall take into account the number of girls enrolling, continuing and transiting to higher education levels.

Through this individual progress of every girl child is closely monitored and any problem that may hamper her progress is immediately addressed.

This will ensure that a high number commensurate to its enrollment is continuously progressing and transiting to higher levels.

Tech-Driven Nomadic Girl Child Education Tracking is the first of its kind in the Nomadic Community.

It will be the first not only to observe enrollment of the Nomadic Girl child but also ensure transient success from one level to another all through to creation of post university networks of market's and employment.

An Education Tracker App which will be shared to all Nomadic Schools in Narok County

The tracker app is an app to be downloaded and used in mobile phones.

The theory of change here shall be on the basis of strict account of individual girl child enrollment, strict observation of their individual progress of continuity, monitoring of their success for transition and banking on their success for more lobbying.
