In the recent past, Gucha Community has experienced a great drop out of school of a girl child due to early pregnancies. This has gradually build up until the recent witness of Five hundred girls dropping out of Primary and secondary school within one year. The great increase in such cases has been orchestrated by poverty which has played a great role and lack of civic education which concerning matters to do with sex is considered as an abomination. It is a taboo to talk to children about sexual matters. This kind of culture and tradition only leaves the girl child in darkness not knowing how to carry themselves around the community especially with their boy counterparts. This kind of predicament has not only made the educational life of a girl child difficult but also unbearable and almost impossible. The area history has shown that girls can do even better than boys if given chance and supported. This is evident from the few ladies in various Governmental departments serving in very high ranks and having great performance records that stand out even today.

Gucha Community Bases organization has a great program in regard to salvaging the conditions and welfare of the girl child. The CBO has partnered with the relevant partners and the Government and is now on a ten year program to see to it that the girl child has been jealously guarded in order to preserve the dignity and image and also the relevance of the girl child in our society today.

Gucha CBO has entered into a memorandum of understanding with all schools both private and public to have the CBO carry out seminars to all girls just to empower them with the information and skills on how to protect themselves from early pregnancies and also inform them of the very many good opportunities that lie ahead of them should they successfully complete their Education. In this program girls are also encouraged to be bold and report any person trying to take advantage of their vulnerability o that the law may quickly catch up with them. The CBO has for last two years managed to do counseling to 350 girls who have returned back to their schooling and some have successfully completed their fourth form Education and some have joined various careers.

The CBO is looking forward to reaching more schools within the region so as to reach each and every girl. By the end of the five years the CBO targets to reach 10,000 girls to ensure that by the end of the day all girl who start their school life completes their education an becomes a better person able to positively contribute back to the society’ economy.
