2986: Keeping the Candle Burning: 21 Years of National Girls’ Education Day
In this episode, we mark National Girls’ Education Day, a day first declared on July 7, 2004, by the late Dr. John Garang de Mabior, who lit a symbolic candle with a powerful message: “Let’s keep the candle burning for girls’ education.”
Twenty-one years later, that flame still burns, reminding us of the progress made, the barriers still faced, and the collective responsibility to ensure every girl in South Sudan has access to quality education.
In this conversation, we reflect on that journey and look ahead, with guests Sandra Baldwin from the British Embassy, Akuja de Garang of GESS, and learner Marsha Justine from Juba Day Secondary School.
