Sponsor 15 Girls in Slums with Nursing Dreams

Dear respected Donors,

We are preparing to sponsor 15 adolescent girls from urban slums into nursing schools. No donations have been received so far, but we thank prospective donors for considering this project. Your interest already gives weight to the work ahead and to the girls’ hopes of becoming trained nurses.

Nigeria continues to face challenges that make this project urgent. More than 38% of Nigerians live under the poverty line, and many households cannot afford school fees. Around 20 million children are out of school, most of them girls, while health indicators remain troubling. The country records some of the world’s highest maternal and child mortality rates, and there are not enough nurses and midwives to meet community needs. Urban slums grow rapidly with little planning, leaving residents without steady access to education, water, or health services. At the same time, skilled health workers often leave for opportunities abroad, creating gaps that worsen neglect at home.

Our plan is ready. Each girl will be enrolled in nursing school with her tuition, uniforms, and exam fees covered. They will also receive study materials, stipends for transport, and guided practical training at local clinics. Monitoring will be carried out through regular visits and progress reports, and each girl will have a mentor to guide her through both academic and personal challenges. This project will give them a path into stable careers while also strengthening the long-term pool of nurses available to Nigeria’s overstretched health system.

We thank prospective donors once again. Though no contributions have come in yet, every interest in this project represents hope. With your help, these 15 girls can take their seats in nursing school and begin a journey that will benefit not only their families but also the wider communities they will serve.

Thanks for your kind generosity,
With love,
Joy Ojochogwu Etubi
