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.

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.

THE WHY
September is when school fees decide who keeps learning.
Abuja, families do the math each September — and for too many girls, the answer is that school waits another year. Fees, uniforms, books: it adds up fast, and it adds up first for daughters.
GGAC exists to change that math. This campaign funds the exact things standing between a girl and her classroom — so "waiting another year" is never the answer.

When a girl doesn't have to choose between books and bus fare, she shows up. That's the whole difference a sponsorship makes — she just gets to show up.
