World Bank unveils monthly pay for teens to remain in school
The World Bank reckons that the Cash-plus Programme will support poor and vulnerable adolescents to remain in or re-enter school and prevent teen pregnancy.
Adolescents from poor families will be given money to either remain or re-enter school when they drop out in a World Bank cash transfer programme aimed at preventing teen pregnancies and giving teen mums forced out of classes a second chance.
Dubbed the Cash-plus Programme, the controversial World Bank-led initiative targets 20,000 poor households and will be integrated into the Kenyan government’s existing cash transfer programme.
