The study investigated how mentorship strategies influence girls’ completion rate in Loima Sub- County, Turkana County. The study used a descriptive survey research design. The study was conducted in public primary schools in Loima Sub County involving head teachers, teachers and pupils as respondents. The sample for the study included involves 14 head teachers, 110 teachers and 112 girls. The head teachers and teachers were selected using simple random sampling method while girls were selected through purposive sampling method. Data was collected through interviews with head teachers, administration of questionnaire to teachers and conduction of focus group discussions with 8 girls (14 discussions groups). The research instruments were tested for validity and reliability before they were administered to the field. Data was analyzed using the frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviation and Pearson correlation statistical tool. The study concluded that guidance and counselling was the most preferred mentorship strategies that were used for girls, and this improved their completion rate in schools. Due to inadequacy of female teachers, it was impossible for the teachers available in schools to provide one on one mentorship to girls in the schools. Correlation statistics showed that there existed a signi?cant positive effect between school-based mentorship activities and girls’ completion rate in public primary schools in Loima Sub County.
