Empowering girls in North-East Nigeria through Education

Girl Child Concerns is a registered charity dedicated to ensuring under priviledged girls have opprotunity to complete secondary school and also learn livelihood skills. We are raising funds this year to send 500 more girls from Boko Haram Internally Displaced camps to secondary school. Funds raised will be used to cover school fees, boarding fees, all books, uniforms, housekeeping materials and equipment, groceries, toiletries and transportation, skills acquisition. To cater for each girl costs 250,000 Naira per annum. Kindly contribute in taking these young girl out of IDP camps and give them dignity nd opportunity to rebuild their lives.

GCC provides holistic interventions that meet the needs of vulnerable adolescent girls especially those from poor rural areas, disadvantaged and underserved groups like married adolescent and girls in humanitarian settings. Our specific interventions include Adolescents Reproductive Health & Rights, Female Students Scholarships for vulnerable girls, Advocacy and community mobilization and sensitization on civil rights and responsibilities as well as gender equity.

GCC is working in empowering and promoting girl child education and providing educational support to young people through its Female Students Scholarships Scheme (FSSS), Safe Spaces and life skills development. Through a comprehensive approach the process of the scholarship scheme is built in such a way that  the girl-child is not only offered formal education but also armed with general life skills, sexuality education and in the process age of marriage is delayed. (Over 200 girls have graduated from secondary school under the scholarship scheme and we have almost 300 presently placed in various girls boarding schools in four states across the North).
