Education Policy & Advocacy

Education 360+ Initiative uses advocacy to strengthen systems that protect and promote girls’ right to education. We advocate for better policies and supportive environments for vulnerable girls, including teenage mothers returning to school. The initiative addresses barriers such as gender-based violence, child marriage, and teenage pregnancy while promoting safe, inclusive, and girl-friendly learning environments. Through this 360-degree approach, Hakizetu helps girls in Mwanza, Geita, Mara, and Kagera stay in school, learn, succeed, and shape their future.

Hakizetu recognizes that lasting change cannot be achieved through individual support alone. We advocate for education systems, policies, schools, and communities that respond to the realities of vulnerable children, girls, children with disabilities, teenage mothers, and young people living in underserved communities. Our advocacy focuses on ensuring that every learner has an equal opportunity to access quality education and complete their studies in an environment that is safe, inclusive, supportive, and free from violence and discrimination.

OUR APPROACH

Creating Opportunities. Protecting Rights. Changing Lives.

At Hakizetu, our approach is rooted in the belief that every child, especially every girl, deserves the opportunity to access quality education, learn safely and build a better future.

We work alongside communities, schools, families and other stakeholders to address the barriers that prevent vulnerable children and girls from entering school, remaining in school and reaching their full potential.

Our work focuses on three connected areas

01. Protection & Safe Learning

Creating safe and supportive learning environments where children and girls can learn free from violence, discrimination and harmful practices.

02. Access & Retention

Removing barriers that prevent vulnerable children and girls from entering school, staying in school and completing their education.

03. Community & Systems Change

Working with communities, schools and stakeholders to create lasting change and strengthen systems that protect children’s rights.
