Saving the Boy Child to Secure the Future of the Girl Child and the Community

BACKGROUND
For over two decades, efforts to protect the girl child from early marriage and harmful cultural practices in pastoralist communities have unintentionally sidelined the boy child. While girls were supported to access education, many boys were left idle, uneducated, and without mentorship.
This imbalance has resulted in rising teenage pregnancies, school dropouts among girls, and an increasing number of uneducated young men. Sustainable girl-child empowerment cannot be achieved without intentionally empowering the boy child.
