On the Road of Empowerment
When Rima*, 17, failed the first year of secondary school, it was the third time she had failed to pass exams that would enable her to progress to the next academic level. She had already failed twice before when she was in the second and fifth grades of primary school. But with this third failure, she was determined to leave school for good. However, after her mother learned about the the Adolescent Toolkit Programme and encouraged Rima to take part in it, Rima's perspective on life has changed and she is now on the road of empowerment.
