Early Marriage?

.. is the marriage of children and adolescents below the age of 18.
The "practice of marrying girls at a young age is common in South Asia".
There are specific parts of South Asia where marriages before puberty are not unusual. However, the Centre also notes that marriage shortly after puberty is common among those living traditional lifestyles in the Middle East, North Africa and other parts of Asia. Marriages of female adolescents between sixteen and eighteen are common in parts of Latin America and Eastern Europe.

We have planned a new rice distribution on the 5 July at the Dâksoso School. That way, we assemble all the poorest families and pupils, and we will start to distribute the letters from sponsors directly to the children, with their families present. That will provide sticks and carrots to motivate certain families, who don’t seem to have grasped the fact that their children are being supported by people from another end of the world.

In June, AVEC organised a big drawing contest in the Dâksoso School. This will permit each sponsor to receive a drawing made by the child that he or she supports. We will also pick out the best drawings (made with coloured pencils), and we will publish these works of art on our web site.
