The aim of the initiative is to help young female school drop outs to access education again after failing to go back to school due to early, untimely pregnancy. This will be an online project where they will devote a certain amount of time to their studies a few times a week to allow them to take care of their children whilst also accessing education. The online lessons will be done via WhatsApp or other low bandwidth platforms and the teachers will be other young women who have passed their O and A Level studies who will be paid to teach their fellow young women.

Young women who dropped out of school will be receive smart phones, basic digital literacy skills on low bandwidth digital tools that will be useful for them in their learning like Google Classroom and emails and online safety. The young women will also be supported with money to register for their examinations
