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.
BACK TO SCHOOL CAMPAIGN
This September, give her everything she needs to start strong
Help GGAC send 100 more girls and young women back to school with everything they need to succeed, from school supplies to full scholarships to vocational training.
THE WHY
THE WHY
September is when school fees decide who keeps learning.
Some girls in our partner schools don't come back in September because their family can't cover tuition, a uniform, or basic school supplies. Some young women drop out of vocational training for the same reason they can't cover the cost of finishing.
Your campaign donation goes directly towards addressing these costs.
