Data was processed through thematic analysis.

And the inconsistent of laws and regulations regarding children. Secondly, the community was aware of the EFA campaigns and some of the girls who were employed as domestic labourers had attended complementary basic education in Tanzania, though most of them had dropped out due to the factors mentioned above. Thirdly, although a variety of interventions and policies are in policies, there are gaps which hinder the effectiveness of these policies and interventions. In the light of the findings, the following basic principal recommendation is made.
