Girls with disabilities in South Sudan receive cash transfers to stay in school

Girls’ Education South Sudan gives cash transfers to all girls enrolled from P5-S4 in school across South Sudan, as an incentive to stay in school and complete their education.  Children and especially girls with disabilities often miss out or drop out of school early because of negative societal beliefs and other environmental and financial barriers. GESS has been working hard to change this, by improving national systems for collecting disability data and tracking that girls with disabilities receive the cash transfer.
