“Viva girls have positively impacted us. The training has been of great importance to us. I have been able to learn on how to avoid bad companies that might lead early marriage and unwanted pregnancies. I request the organization to help those girls who drop out of schools due to lack of school fees.”

“Since I started attending the viva girls program, I have managed to learn a lot e.g. school dropout and its causes which include peer pressure, early marriages and FGM and self-control is one of the solutions to this problem.”
