Adolescent Girls Literacy + (AGLIT+)

AGLIT+ delivers a combined literacy and health education programme for rural adolescent girls and boys aged 10 to 19 who have missed out on school. It is a non-clinical health intervention aimed at improving health-seeking behaviour, especially reproductive health, through literacy skills, new or improved health knowledge, and strategies to overcome obstacles to health. The Adolescent Girls’ Literacy Project (AGLIT) also addresses dropout, literacy and numeracy for vulnerable girls facing pressure to marry early or leave school for household duties.
