Abuja is the ancestral land of the Gwari people, who remain economically marginalized despite being the original inhabitants. Many families lost farmland without compensation, limiting income and school access. This project will prevent 2,000 Gwari teen girls from leaving school by covering fees, books, and learning needs from primary level to university.
The Gwari people are the original inhabitants of Abuja and number far beyond this project's scope. Many families lost farmland during city expansion without compensation, removing their main income source. With few job options, parents struggle to pay school costs. Teen girls are most affected, as financial hardship puts them at risk of dropping out.
This project will support 2,000 Gwari girls who are at risk of leaving school. It includes 500 girls in primary classes one to six, 500 girls in secondary school, and 1,000 girls in university programs lasting up to four years. Support covers fees, books, uniforms, and regular school follow up to confirm attendance and progress.
Educating 2,000 girls will create lasting change within Gwari communities. Girls who complete education are more likely to earn income, delay early marriage, and support their families. This project strengthens indigenous families, reduces poverty, and helps preserve dignity while enabling girls to contribute meaningfully to Abuja's social and economic life.
