Abstract
This study tried to assess the contributions of NGOs in the promotion of girls’ education in the case of Selam Children Village (SCV) specifically in assistance to needy program, Addis Ababa. Qualitative research method was applied to obtain pertinent information from primary and secondary data sources. The case study incorporates fourteen girl students who are direct beneficiaries of the assistance to needy program and find out the intervention strategies of the organization in terms of addressing the challenges of the targeted girl students. The study found out that low economic status and poor educational background of parents, Lack of time to study at home due to heavy workload, are the major challenges of the girl students in the study area and lead them to failure and drop out. Scholarship, sanitary pads, hair oil, lotions, school uniform, text books and other school materials are provided to girls as intervention strategies of assistance to needy project. Absence of strong collaboration with the school and community and also a narrow approach of providing the necessary scholastic material absence of training and tutorial class were mentioned as shortcomings of the program. Therefore the study has found that these interventions have their own contributions in order to address the challenges of the girl students and their schooling. Therefore based on the findings improving the social, economic and political capacities of families should be the major task in order to promote girls education. In view of this, government, charity organizations, community based organizations and all stake holders are accountable for this.
