​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.

Menstrual Hygiene Kits
We are on a mission to End Period Poverty in the lives of young girls. This is why we provide menstrual hygiene kits to young girls who cannot afford them. These kits contain sanitary pads, detergents, and bathing soaps to maintain proper hygiene while menstruating (N10,000/$12.88 for 10 girls a month).
GGAC Campaigns
Every year, GGAC invests in initiatives to help improve the wellbeing on the girls in our program and advocate for the education of the girl-child. These include the annual Menstrual Health Campaign, investment in STEM programs, Children's Day celebrations, and more. With your help, we can continue these programs and launch new initiatives.
