About the project

VIGINA SECONDARY SCHOOL

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Vigina Secondary School is a learning institution that offers secondary school education that was established as a result of community's initiative to promote the literacy levels in the community as well as promote the educational levels of the girls in the local community. The initiation of Vigina Secondary School came in handy with the many challenges that affect the community especially since most of the graduates from primary schools could not walk long distances to attend schools in other parts as a results most of the girls ended up getting married at an early age while the young men were involved in activities that had a negative impact on their lives such as drug use and abuse and alcoholism. This school is a turning point where parents are advised to give their children especially the girls an opportunity to pursue their academic dream that is aimed at enabling them to fully participate in the productive development of the community structures and thus making life better for the generations to come. Since the initiation of the school many community members especially the youths have been able to achieve and develop their talents that have made them become better members of the society who have and are contributing positively to the development process of the local community structures of sustainability. Most members of the community are small scale farmers most of home only produce food stuffs that are not even enough to support the wellbeing of their families.
