Abstract
The Binti Shupavu year began as normal for GLAMI, commencing alongside the new lower secondary school year in January. Recruitment was carried out across all four year groups, with a total of 4,546 scholars enrolled in Binti Shupavu - this included a new class of Form 1 scholars across all our partner schools, totalling 1,242.
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 Binti Shupavu scholars 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. Thank you for being Binti Shupavu - courageous daughters.

Sampling
Sampling Procedure
This profile relies primarily on qualitative data collected through focus group discussions with Binti Shupavu Alumnae and interviews with Scholars, Alumnae and other key stakeholders. We also collected quantitative data using a survey and Resilience Competencies Scale that were administered at baseline with Scholars entering the program in February 2020 and at endline with Scholars leaving the program in September 2020. Scholars were randomly selected to participate in the surveys. In our first implementation of the random sampling procedure, many of the randomly selected survey respondents were unavailable on survey day, and thus our sample size was small. This likely contributed to the low levels of movement on quantitative indicators that are noted throughout this report. All Scholars' and Alumnae's names have been removed from this Report to protect their privacy, and some quotes were lightly edited for grammar and spelling.
