ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Project Girl Power empowers young Nigerian girls by equipping them with practical skills for self-sufficiency and economic independence. Many girls face barriers such as poverty, limited access to education, and societal expectations that restrict their opportunities. Through hands-on skills training, mentorship, and personal development support, the project helps girls build confidence, generate income, and take control of their futures. By investing in their abilities, Project Girl Power enables young girls to break cycles of dependence and contribute positively to their families and communities.
CHALLENGE
Many young girls in Nigeria lack access to practical skills and opportunities needed for self-sufficiency due to poverty, limited education, and cultural barriers. These challenges leave them vulnerable to dependence, unemployment, and early hardship. Without intervention, girls face restricted futures, low confidence, and limited ability to support themselves or contribute economically to their communities.
SOLUTION
Project Girl Power equips young Nigerian girls with practical, income-generating skills, mentorship, and personal development training to promote self-reliance. Through hands-on skill acquisition and guidance, girls gain confidence, build competence, and develop pathways to economic independence. This empowers them to support themselves, make informed life choices, and become positive contributors to their families and communities.
LONG TERM IMPACT
Project Girl Power creates lasting change by equipping young Nigerian girls with skills that lead to sustained self-sufficiency and economic independence. Over time, empowered girls are better able to secure livelihoods, support themselves and their families, and reduce vulnerability to poverty and exploitation. The project fosters confidence, leadership, and resilience, enabling girls to make informed life choices and advocate for their rights. As these girls grow into empowered women, they contribute to stronger households, healthier communities, and a more inclusive and economically resilient society.
