ABLE stands for "Achieving Better Living and Education", a slogan which emphasizes confidence in the ability of ethnic minority children, especially girls, to overcome challenges.
This phase will be implemented in Cao Bang, Kon Tum, and Ninh Thuan province, aiming to empower ethnic minority youth, especially girls and young women, in boarding secondary schools and neighboring communities to overcome stereotypes and to voice and act on their dreams, hopes, and aspirations in education.
The first phase of the project was implemented from 2019 to 2022 in 12 districts of three provinces - Ha Giang, Ninh Thuan, and Soc Trang - to increase access to education and to create better employment opportunities for girls and ethnic minority women.
