According to UNICEF, more than 60% of Nigeria’s 10 million out-of-school children are girls.

Many factors threaten the girl-access child’s to education, with poverty being the most visible risk factor. The education of girls is a strategic development priority. This is especially true given the overwhelming responsibility of women’s social roles, which affect future generations’ growth and survival.

Economic deprivation, traditional misconceptions, abuse, and gender inequality are some of the major challenges that African girls face in various contexts.
