girls since majority have not been able to continue with their education as their parents
are not willing to pay school dues as they are taken misfortunes. The study recommends
that the government/ministry of education and sports should fight tooth and nail to
provide special needs to the learners for example sanitary pads to keep them in schools
while in menstruation since it is due to lack of money/poverty that pushes girls to sleep
with sugar daddies in order to meet their physical needs. The community, parents are
important in a child’s life and therefore they should provide physical needs for their
children and should also encourage them to stay in school by teaching them sex education
in order for their children to avoid engaging themselves into sexual activity before
marriage as it used to be in the African traditional society (ATS)
