1.0 INTRODUCTION

The deteriorating conditions of primary and elementary education systems in the rural areas of our country are a well-accepted fact. Education has been characterized by a high pupil-teacher ratio, teacher absenteeism, teaching and learning atmosphere, poor school infrastructure, no camaraderie between the community and school, high drop-out rates, child labour, poverty, deaths of parents due to HIV/AIDS and or guardians, parental negligence, changing family culture, peer pressure, gender imbalances, and gender imbalance and rural-urban linkages. Since the economy of Iringa is vulnerably peasant agriculture, most families facing hardship at home, fail to afford school contributions of expenses to meet basic needs for the family due to family size as a result, children from these families opt to work in order to sustain their lives and other siblings. A large number of studies conducted by different organizations in different parts of the country reflect this situation. Although sometimes parents and teachers are trying to get the girls back at school, they’re still refusing. That’s because the girls mostly don’t have role models and don’t say the positivity of finishing their education. “What’s the point of studying hard, when your future vision is ‘just’ to become mother and housewife?” To decrease this high drop-out rate, the Children Care Development Organization (CCDO) introduced different kind of intervention. Civic education (talking to parents and learners trying to get some awareness for the importance of education) and mother groups are some of those interventions as like establishment of Europabook International Child Rehabilitation Academy, vocational training, income generating education activities for their self education awareness.

For so long via my personal experience i have been wishing to atleast work for tortured and needy children in the world. For real, these young ones are very innocent and have nothing to do with ill treatments they encounter from step parents and guidance.

Once you know exactly how many buy Instagram followers uk you require, you should contact the companies in your local area and see if you can arrange for their employees to start following your Instagram account for you. In the past this has often meant paying someone to post on your account, however, with the social networking site growing so quickly you may want to go down this route.

Some people will ask, "how do I buy Instagram followers uk if I don't have a website?" and while this is a valid question to ask, you will find that most of the sites on the web have their own website for easy access.
