Empowering marginalised girls in underserved communities through football, education, and mentorship.
The Challenge
In many low-income Nigerian communities, girls are disproportionately affected by poor educational access, gender stereotypes, and lack of self-confidence. We observed that traditional classroom settings were not enough to engage these girls or address the structural barriers they face. Many were falling behind academically, had low self-esteem, and lacked safe, inclusive spaces for expression and growth.
Our Solution
EduGirls Nigeria addresses school dropout and teenage pregnancy among adolescent girls in underserved Nigerian communities by combining education, mentorship, sports, and mental health awareness. Our scalable solution empowers girls to stay in school, make informed decisions, and reach their full potential.
Our Goal
We envision an education system where learning is inclusive, engaging, and empowering for every girl, especially those in underserved communities. Through our innovation, we aim to transform how education is delivered by integrating sport with literacy, numeracy, and leadership development. Our long-term goal is to close the gender gap in education, reduce dropout rates, and foster a new generation of empowered girls.
