Right To Play is a global organization that uses the transformative power of play to educate and empower children and youth to overcome the effects of conflict, poverty, and disease. Through playing sports and games, Right To Play helps children in more than 20 countries to build essential life skills and better futures, while driving lasting social change.

Introduction
Right To Play is a global organisation that protects, educates, and empowers children to rise above adversity through Quality education. Established in 2000, Right To Play reaches children through experiential programming in 15 countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and North America. These programs are supported by our headquarters in Toronto, Canada; London, UK and eight national offices across Europe (Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, UK) and North America (Canada, US.)
Right To Play Rwanda has secured funds to implement Gender Responsive Education and Transformation (GREAT), a five year (2018-2023) project funded by GAC (Global Affairs Canada). Using a play-based methodology approach, the GREAT project works towards the ultimate outcome of improved quality education for girls and boys at the primary school level in Rwanda.

One of the immediate outcomes contributing to the said ultimate outcome is improved awareness of gender-specific learning needs of girls and boys, including at-risk children, among parents and caregivers. In line with this immediate outcome, the project team has taken advantage of the results of the project midterm evaluation of 2021 stipulating that “Not having access to electricity has remained a barrier to literacy and numeracy outcomes for girls at both baseline and midterm” to identify girls that are struggling to review their lessons due to lack of electricity in their homes in preparation of a Gender awareness and advocacy campaign to ensure those girls are supported to access commodities and services that will allow them to revise their lessons in the evenings and improve their performance at school. Due to the big number of identified girls (8,723) from our existing partner schools head teachers, Right To Play, together with Ruhango, Kayonza and Bugesera districts have organised the gender awareness campaign to support the mentioned girls in line with the celebration of the International Day of the Girl Child (IDGC) whereby the organisation will deliver Solar lamps-radio to 3,074 most vulnerable girl students who live in households with no electricity to allow them to be able to review their lessons during night time thus improving their performance at school. To ensure the intervention is sustained and replicated, Right to Play will tailor and deliver relevant advocacy messages to the Government and partners to give due weight to the issue of girl students who are caught up by the household chores during the day and are unable to revise their lessons in the night due to the vulnerability of their families which does not allow them to connect to the electricity. Due to the limited budget highlighted above, the solar lamps with radio will be provided to only 35% of the total number of girls identified and our advocacy is expected to generate ownership and buy-in from the Government and partners which will enable the rest of the girls to be reached by the intervention in the future.
