On the 26^th March 2023, the FTBK team conducted a child marriage awareness program in the Community. Child marriage robs girls of their childhood and threatens their lives and health. Girls who marry before 18 are more likely to experience domestic violence and less likely to remain in school. After this awareness program the FTBK Team distributed Copies, Pens, Pencils, Sharpeners and Erasers to the children. The children and their family were very to receive this training and this support to remain in school and continue their education.
