Beneficiary 4 Keyreya Jemale

As for the beneficiaries feedback Keyeriya Jemal who is one of girls social media group member in Dewe Woreda/District said that, before this project the community social norm does not support the importance of girls’ education and as for access to education they are favored to boys than girls’.  The majority pastoral people believed that less value for girls’ education due to their negative and harmful social norms. However, after the project implementation there are massive advocacy public campaigns were conducted and awareness raising capacity building activities were achieved to change their attitude and to make their mindsets towards their harmful norms or practices that ultimately hinder girls’ education. But after the end of project achievement the majority people behaviors and mindsets has completely changed and clearly understood the importance of girls’ education and begun to fight harmful traditional practice (HTPs) within the society.  As for that reason, now a day, they acknowledged and awarded girls and their families’ girls’ students have completed their education.
