Africa Educates Her Campaign with Sofonie Dala. Do not miss it! Webisode 24

 Our Africa Educates Her Campaign Angola is ongoing 

Unfortunately, for girls, the impact of education loss during and even after COVID-19 closures is even greater. As a result of the pandemic, 20 million girls in developing countries may never return to the classroom.

Today we have Helena and her brother Filipe. They will share with us their challenges during covid-19 pandemic.

 Helena is 16 years old and Filipe is 11 years old. The guys say that coronavirus is a very big danger that has plagued the country. They can no longer visit schools and do not have physical contact with colleagues and teachers.

They added that, it is difficult to learn at home since they come from a very poor family, shortage in electricity supply has been a big challenge in their community, this is not allowing them to watch tele-classes on TV, moreover their TV has broken and the parents cannot buy a new TV at the moment.

They said that, they will only return to school if the government establishes sanitary conditions, to ensure safety in schools.
