title:

Increase funding for the empowerment of households/ youths and education support for enrolled prevented and withdrawn children:The main cause of child labour in the target community is poverty. Most families in the communities are vulnerable and live below the poverty datum level. Therefore, families force their children to work in farms to bring food on the table. This perpetuates CL in the communities, resulting in children not attending school. In view of the above, it is recommended that JTI/ILO Project Staff should seek more funding for empowerment of households/youths and education support for enrolled prevented and withdrawn children at both primary and secondary schools.
