Indigenous Shaotal community adolescent club in Kakan Hat, Rajshahi. The Adolescent Development Programme (ADP) started in 1993 as a subset of BRAC’s school for older children. In order to retain the literacy rate and life skills that many girls lose after primary schooling, BRAC’s Education Programme opened Adolescent Clubs giving girls the chance to socialise, play indoor games, sing, dance and exchange views and experiences – all activities that were frowned upon in their homes. It works with MoWCA (Ministry of Women & Children Affairs) and Department of Youth Development under the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
