Abstract
The 2020 Kisa year began as normal for GLAMI, commencing alongside the new school year in January. Recruitment and intake was carried out across the Kisaprogram as usual and the team were ready for another year of creating impact. In March however, as across the globe, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruption to our programming. Schools closed for several months and GLAMI quickly pivoted its delivery method to phone mentoring, mostly through parents as well as some social worker visits. We incorporated the delivery of supplies to both schools and individuals, as well as relocation to rescue homes for our more vulnerable scholars where appropriate. This quick adaptation ensured maximum retention of scholars return of KisaScholars once schools reopened. While a small number of scholars failed to return due to pregnancy or early marriage, this number was significantly less than for those girls not enrolled in our programs.I would like to thank our Board for all the support they have offered over the past year, as well as our extraordinary staff for their tireless efforts under challenging circumstances. To all our donors, we would not be able to do this work without you -thank you so much for your investment in the future leaders of our country. To our partner schools and the parents of our scholars, thank you for working with us to ensure no girl was left behind. And finally, to the scholars themselves - you inspire us every day with your resilience, your strength, and above all, your courage.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
This project compares Scholars' responses on a baseline survey that they took on entry to the program in 2019 to their responses at endline in 2021. At baseline, all Kisa Scholars were asked to fill the survey; at endline, survey takers were randomly selected from each Kisa Class. The surveys are anonymous. All Scholars also take a shorter demographic survey, providing information on their family and home community.Additional qualitative data were gathered using semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. Scholars, Alumnae, Mentors, and community members participated in the interviews. Scholars' and Alumnae's names have been changed in this Report to protect their privacy, and some quotes were lightly edited for grammar and spelling.
