In Nigeria, less than half of all school-age girls are enrolled in, and graduate, from school. At Give Girls A Chance (GGAC), we believe that educating girls is the single most powerful investment to shape a better future for Nigeria. We started in 2016 with the goal of increasing young girls’ access to quality education in Nigeria. Our team of dedicated mentors and volunteers work directly with girls in four secondary school in the Abuja area, providing scholarships, mentorships, and guidance. We aim to do this by addressing issues related to lack of access, low levels of awareness of the importance of education, and poor infrastructure of educational institutions.

EDUCATE

We partner with schools, sponsors, and local organizations to equip the girls with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to succeed

MENTOR

We link the girls in our programs to qualified and capable mentors to improve their physical, mental, and social well-being

EMPOWER

We offer programs and scholarships to improve comprehension and literacy levels and emphasize the benefits of getting a quality education

Our approach is to provide comprehensive support to girls between the ages of 10 and 19 years from low-income families as well as to systematically develop the schools in the communities in which we work.
