Dear Donors,
Thank you for supporting this project to provide education and mentorship for 4,850 Hausa girls aged 8–15 in Northern Nigeria. Your support helps girls attend school, access learning materials, and receive guidance to stay in class and build a brighter future.
Many girls in Northern Nigeria face barriers to education due to poverty, early marriage, and lack of school resources. Families often prioritize boys, and schools may lack uniforms, textbooks, or other learning tools. Without timely support, these girls risk dropping out, limiting their independence and future opportunities.
This project provides tuition support, uniforms, textbooks, and learning materials, alongside mentorship sessions that reinforce the importance of education and life skills. By removing financial and material barriers, the project ensures that girls can attend school regularly, complete assignments, and participate fully in classroom activities.
Subsequently, educated girls are more likely to delay marriage, earn income, and contribute positively to their communities. Supporting these 4,850 girls can break cycles of poverty within families, inspire peers to continue schooling, and foster literacy and leadership that benefit future generations.
Donations received are not sufficient to launch the program, but with your continued support, we can give these girls the opportunity to learn safely and secure a brighter future.
With thanks,
Joy Ojochogwu Etubi
