Feminist Fridays #5: Sisters’ for Sisters’ Education project

In the Sisters for Sisters’ Education project, international and local volunteers help vulnerable girls build the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to stay at school and complete a full cycle of education to grade 8 in Nepal. We speak to former volunteer Clare Hawkes to discuss the need to create an environment where girls’ education is valued, especially for those in vulnerable situations, and to hear about her experiences of working with the girls.
