Education Crisis in Eritrea

The 1960 UNESCO Convention against Discrimination in Education (CADE), Section 1, states that “Everyone should have the equality of opportunity, access to free primary education, and the rights of minority groups.” Education is very important and it is a key thing to have in life. If you don't have an education, it can cause other problems for you and your family. When girls don’t have an education, it can lead to early marriage and early childbirth. Early childbirth can also lead to dead because the medical complications. Also, if you don’t have an education, it is really hard to earn a job and get enough money to support your family.
In Eritrea, there are many problems in their education. Half the population
Joseph Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army was a huge threat, and they would abduct and rape young women and detain them as sex slaves. Sister Rosemary joined a congregation, St. Monica, assists in teaching in the congregation's mission schools, and helps at the sisters’ orphanage to home the young mothers. Villagers, who would run for safety from Joseph Kony’s rebels, started to pour in, and Sister Rosemary realized she had to lend a hand and keep the villagers secure, by providing first aid and help them maintain good hygiene. At the schools, there was no money for anything. They couldn't even clean the compound. First, Sister Rosemary employed herself as a driver, and used the money to clear the ground. Once the ground was cleared, she invited institutions and organizations to hold their meetings atSt. Monica. She was given a challenge to host over 200 teachers in a workshop for two weeks. They didn't have money, but they borrowed money and promised to pay it back after two weeks. By the end of the two weeks, the workshop was paid 10 million Uganda shillings and Sister Rosemary cleared the debt and used the remaining to run the center. They would skill train the girls and for the dresses, bags, and knitted sweaters they made, they were paid. This helped remove the school fees and they could use the balance for other needs. Soon,
There will be a machine where every bottle that is put into it and gets recycled, the government will donate money that will be used to buy supplies for the children in need. Now the children won't have to worry as much with the money needed for buying school supplies.Another solution, is to sell cookies and use the money earned to build schools in the rural areas. There are little to no schools in rural areas and approximately 80% of Eritrea’s population lives in rural areas. If students, that live in rural areas, decide to go to school, they have to walk many kilometers to attend school. Most students don't attend school if they live in rural areas due to the distance, but if we use the money earned from the cookies that were sold, they we can build a few schools in the rural areas of Eritrea so the percent of children that go to school will increase. The last solution is creating a website to spread the problem. The website will give more information on the education crisis in Eritrea and people can donate money to help the children. The money that people donate will be used entirely to help the children. We can use the donated money to buy more school supplies and help with the building of schools. The donated money can also be used in the future for new solutions on other problems Eritrea
