Tanzania, April 29 -- Dar es Salaam. It is a relief for adolescent girls and young women who dropped out of formal education due to various challenges, including pregnancy, after the Doris Mollel Foundation rolled out plans to implement a programme aimed at supporting their return to school across 47 councils in 15 regions.

The six-month project, funded by the Global Fund, will also support survivors of gender-based violence by linking them to safe houses, while helping reintegrate teenage mothers and other out-of-school girls back into the education system.

The foundation said the initiative will also encourage selected councils to become model areas in the provision of sanitary towels to schoolgirls.
