for defeaing poverty, ensuring political stability, stopping the spread of HIV, and saving a girl's life.

Do you know what happens when a girl in rural Africa
graduates form high school?

Most of the time, nothing. Even when she has been lucky enough to attend school, she lacks the knowledge and skills to pursue alternative choices after graduation. She is most likely to marry early, have many children and be consigned to working at jobs for little or no pay.

How Just One Person Makes A Difference

JOP's program is a 4 year life skills curriculum geared towards the needs of rural Kenyan high school girls that enables them to make informed choices about their futures...read more.

We call this "Education Beyond Academics".

While Kenyan schools score well with preparing girls academically, Just One Person programs provides high school girls in rural Africa with essential life skills like money management, goal setting, stress management, and relationship building that bolster their self confidence and make it easier to forge a new path to their future.

In addition, to successfully tackle the challenges of traditional and cultural barriers that limit their choices and trap them in the cycle of poverty, girls in Kenya must have an environment that provides them with support...the support of their peers, their families and their villages. Just One Person's "Parent Small Business Training Programs" and Sister to Sister Mentoring Clubs provide the foundation for creating sustainable change.

Just One Person's comprehensive approach is a unique model for supporting the education of girls in rural Africa. Will you join us in our efforts?

Change starts with just one person.
