20 girls will be supported to resume school visits. 50 girls will take part in career-oriented activities and counseling on business start-ups. The girls get vocational trainings to strengthen their professional skills and learn how to build a micro business.
100 legal advisors are specifically trained on the legal issues of early marriage in order to assist the girls in case of emergency. In youth and church centers, special rooms are set up for girls who are particularly vulnerable to being married early. Information days are organized in the project communities in order to sensitize the community members to the negative aspects of child marriage. Children's protection committees are set up in the municipalities - composed of teachers, health care workers, as well as traditional and religious authorities - who are to take preventive actions against child marriage.

The project is part of the 18+ program, which aims to prevent the early marriages of children and to finally abolish them in Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Tanzania. The minimum age of marriage in these countries is generally raised to 18 years. Through legislation, changes in consciousness, clarification of rights and access to education, girls should be sustainably strengthened and their position in the society permanently improved.
