ACHIEVEMENTS

  The Centre now supports over 650 women in Secondary School, Vocational training, colleges and universities.  Among them 21 finished university and vocational training and 16 are expected to join universities.  Forty-one girls who finished form 4 in 2009 have been placed in different courses; 16 in advanced level studies, 24 in teacher training courses and one in nursing, 16 girls finished advanced level studies this year and 7 have begun university studies.  Most of these girls have obtained student loans and Emusoi is helping with the small percentage of the fees that remain.  We are unable to support these girls totally because of limited resources.  Other girls finished teacher training, community development, social work and hotel management, tour guide and records management.  Many of these girls are already employed.

This year about 300 girls so far have requested help from us for 2011.  We will only accept 50 from that number and making the choice is a very difficult job.  We gave the applicants a test to see if they have academic ability, but this is not our only criterion.  We are looking for girls who come from very difficult situations and no other source for getting an education.
