It supports up to 1 million marginalised girls, including those with disabilities, to progress through primary and secondary school by 2017. Within the GEC, there are two projects that focus exclusively on getting girls with disabilities back into school and learning (in Kenya and Uganda). The total budget for the lifetime of these two projects is £5.1m.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 01/02/2016 17:51:07 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
