Red Cross of Malawi and CCJP in Zomba have expressed concern over school dropout rate among girls due to pregnancy.

Despite being supported by the provision of school fees among others, the girls continue to drop out of school.

According to Malawi Red Cross project director Cecilia Banda, lack of support by other organizations is contributing to the drop out.

“We have realized that this work cannot be done by one person or an organization,” said Banda.

CCJP Director in the Diocese of Zomba Raphael Yusufu urged people in the community to take part in the project that the organizations are implementing.
