This technical brief provides an overview of the CARE Rwanda’s Safe Schools for Girls (SS4G) programme. SS4G is part of a 5-year (2015– 2020) multi-country initiative aimed at improving the quality of education for marginalized adolescents in Cambodia, Kenya, Mali, India, Nepal, Rwanda and Zimbabwe. More specifically, SS4G aims to enable 97,564 students (50,797 girls and 46, 767 boys) aged 11 – 18 years, who come from low socio-economic backgrounds to pursue their education by reducing school drop-out and increasing transition from lower to upper secondary education for adolescent girls. This brief outlines the SS4G approach, impact and case for scale-up.
