Education For All (EFA) believes that education a basic human right, and that educated girls educate the next generation. EFA focuses on girls from rural, remote areas of Morocco's High Atlas region who are missing out on secondary education due to living too far away from schools and being too poor to afford transport. EFA was founded in 2007 to respond to the high levels of illiteracy (estimated at 70%) amongst girls in the most deprived and remote areas of the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Instead of going to school, girls were staying home, doing domestic chores, marrying young and remaining in the cycle of poverty with limited choices in life. The 3 main obstacles for girls in rural Morocco to access school are Their villages are too far away from the secondary schools Their families are too poor to afford the travel costs There is low awareness of and value for educating girls THE SIMPLE SOLUTION EFA builds and runs safe and well equipped girls' boarding houses. We currently accommodate 250 girls in 6 houses, from the ages of 12-18 yrs. The EFA houses are a 'home away from home'. They are staffed by local women which helps to create an environment where their culture is respected and trust is built with the local community. They have 3 nutritious meals a day, hot showers, computer rooms and plenty of books and learning support. We also run an international volunteer programme to support the girls in their studies and activities which broaden their horizons.

OR $85 per month or $1000 per year. IMPACT The short-term impact of EFA's work is that many girls now have the opportunity to go to school who otherwise would be at home. Since 2007 we have given access to a full secondary education for 370 girls. These girls are now young women want to become lawyers, scientists, teachers and entrepreneurs! We now have over 130 girls enrolled at University since 2013, with two now studying their Master's Degrees, 3 on full university scholarships and one who just graduated to become a Biology teacher. The longer-term impact is that these young women will be able to become financially independent, contribute to the workforce and economy and have more choice and voice in their families and society, ensuring progressive equality for future generations. They have also inspired a positive shift in attitudes in their communities towards educating girls, and are strong role models to their sisters and friends, demonstrating what is possible for them and how to realise their potential through education.

Sustainable development through nature conservation, social responsibility and the participation of the local population are the basic principles of the work of the FMB. It has a Board of Directors of the FMB is made up of 12 members of civil society and is the highest authority of the FMB. Four members of the board of directors rotate every two years, elected at an ordinary general assembly. There is a president of the board who develops and coordinates the actions along with an executive director. A central vision of the Foundation is to work in an innovative way for sustainable development through the protection of nature, with social responsibility and the participation of the population. All WBF projects take into account equally their different target groups and both indigenous and farming communities are always invited to participate in the measures. To promote sustainable development in the different neighboring communities, the WBF has accumulated resources and technical and institutional knowledge. This forms a valuable foundation for their work and is divided into four areas: Wildlife Sanctuaries, Rural Development, Community Education and Awareness, and Conservation Research and Private Initiatives. Each of these areas, which are constantly being expanded and improved, contributes to improving the quality of life of the local population by reinforcing social, economic and ecological factors. The Mbaracayu Educational Center (CEM) is a boarding school that has existed for more than 10 years and was created for young rural and indigenous women between the ages of 15 and 18 from different rural communities of the Mbaracayu Forest Nature Reserve (RBBM), Department of Canindeyu. The educational center focuses on offering quality education based on the learning-by-doing model and currently houses 150 students who have been studying the environmental baccalaureate there for three years. By targeting women exclusively, the aim is to promote equality and eliminate the disadvantage of rural women in access to education. According to the country's guidelines and recommendations, affirmative action is applied because young women in rural areas have few opportunities to attend secondary school. At CEM, students receive training that allows them to succeed and acquire the necessary skills to develop their communities as part of their commitment to the environment and conservation. The institution welcomes young people from the Mbaracayu Jungle Biosphere Reserve region, which is characterized by its multiculturalism: Paraguayan women, daughters of Brazilians settled in the region, Ache and Guarani indigenous people, and other foreigners. The CEM aims to provide these young people with a quality secondary education to increase their chances in the labor market and thus improve their quality of life and that of their families.

The Need Lack of skills training opportunities among young women is a common issue in Embul Bul Ward, Ngong, Kajiado County and in Kieni Nyeri County often, due to socio norms, lack of employment opportunities and financial crisis, they are unable to undertake vocational and skill trainings in the expensive training centers. Young women most of who are high school leavers and drop outs depend on housekeeping, , collecting fodder and collecting firewood to earn income. They do casual labor work that produce poor earning which is not sufficient to arrange meal twice daily. This impact on their health and that of their children. Due to lack of vocational training facilities in Embul Bul Ward, Ngong, Kajiado County and Kieni in Nyeri County these young women are never offered these techniques to create their micro enterprises in a profitable manner. It on this background that Future Adventure resolved take a patriotic challenge to initiate various skills training programmes to help these young women who are struggling with their daily lives. This programme include vocational and skills development and will be reaching to these young women with appropriate community mobilization and capacity building. We are offering tailoring and dressing making, beauty techniques and cooking but the courses will be expanded every year Women play an active role in day to day survival of the poorer communities in these villages. They bear the double burden of work in the house and out of the house. The low rate of literacy in the women of disadvantaged part of the community. They do not have any other skill to earning. There is increasing risk for scarcity of livelihood and employment in the region. There are few and unevenly distributed technical vocational training centres. Kenya has over 700 technical vocational training centres to serve a country of 50 Million people which include; four national polytechnics, one technical teachers college, about 35 technical training institutes, and over 600 youth polytechnics (commonly refered to as village polytechnics) which are mostly concentrated in economically endowed counties and almost non-existent in arid and semi-arid areas like Kajiado and Kieni Sub- County There is a consistent decline in the quality of training offered in training centres as a result of declining number of quality trainers and a lack of modern and efficient machine and equipment. There is a lack of relevance in skills taught that match with occupational and social realities present in today's economy. Some training centres continue to teach skills that no longer have a market and ignore those that do have and this is the need Future Adventure is addressing.
