Education in Siwa & Five Stars Kindergarten
What is the current situation? The educational leven of Siwan is one of the poorest of the country. The lack of qualified teachers and resources, leads for children to graduate with insufficient capacity. Girls are the first ones to drop out, while the pressure for early marriage further aggravates the situation.
What is the ideal? Five Stars KG aims to offer quality education to local children while empowering local women to be skillful teachers. By introducing new ways of education, they aim to raise the quality of education in the oasis and simultaneously empower local women through education and financial income.
