GHF started this program by knowing the following reality:
-
- After-school programs keep children, especially girls safe and protect them from negative and unsafe behaviors.
-
- Improves personality and maturity.
-
- After school programs have an impressive influence on preventing these girls from experimenting with drugs and other deviant behavior. This is simply because students are enjoying a productive activity and are being supervised during their attendance in the after school program.
Programs and tutoring keep children away from trouble.
High-risk teen girls conduct transpires most often after school. This is a time when these girls are out of school and parents or guardians are still working. Unwatched and on their own, girls can get involved in a number of activities that may not be appropriate, or even participate in activities that can actually be very dangerous. That’s when bad things can happen … in an instant … unexpected.
-
- Provides supervision for parents who cannot regularly be with their offspring.
-
- GHF wants to create real “community school” that serves the entire community through these girls.
-
- Gives the opportunity for creative activity i.e. writings, poem, speech, drawing, singing etc.
