I Inactive
Key Information
One hundred girls ages 10-17 from two Rwandan schools - Gihogwe and Acts4Rwanda - met on weekends from May 4th - June 2nd during the pilot. Career Girls and Starlight Africa carefully co-created the curriculum, developing interactive lesson plans that presented careers in information and communications technology (ICT), health science and arts, audio/video and communications, as solutions to local and global problems like poverty, world hunger, gender equality and access to education and healthcare. The curriculum was also developed to align with the competency-based curriculum proposed for Rwanda’s educational system as part of the United Nations’ sustainable development goal 4.
