• The Solution:

• Jesus has a plan, and He organized us as SEE Ministries to provide the gift of hygiene to stop the downward cycle of poverty and ignorance, and give girls a chance to become strong Christians, productive citizens, and the backbone of good families, teaching their children the love of Jesus.

• Girls can graduate Primary School with limitless expectations for the future.

• They can compete favorably with the boys academically, as they are able to sit for exams no matter what day of the month it is, with high expectations of passing and becoming eligible for higher education.

• The girls' self-esteem is boosted, and absenteeism is minimized. The girls now enjoy school instead of feeling that it's a burden.
