CISO is currently working on the Girl Power Education Program which aims to increase access and improve the quality of education to girls.  The main achievements of the program thus far include:

• Reducing school drop out rate and enhancing school performance of girls through reading corners, remedial classes, awards for best performing girls, and supporting selected girls at gender related conferences
• Promotion of girls education via media campaign, community festivals, establishment of Girls Education Advisory Club (GEAC), girls sport club, distribution of IEC/BCC materials, organizing inter-school activities such as academic consents and drama shows
• Community mobilization and capacity building through PTA (Parent Teachers Association) and KETB (Kebele Education and Training Board) manual production, training, sensitization workshops and  giving recognition to community members who break the vicious circle of harmful traditional practices
• Strengthen sharing of best practices and lessons learned, on girls education, among schools via Inter-school Networking, provision of manuals and organizing forums, refreshment training  for primary school teachers        
• Creating safe educational environment for girls through the construction of gender segregated latrines and washing facilities, establishing school playgrounds
