Why your donation is needed

We need your generous donation to organize more educating and mentoring outreaches to remote communities and schools in Nsukka, most of these girls are still in the dark and lack of information gives room for more abuses.

We receive complaint and appeal from some of the young girls who are victims of violence, disabilities and poverty, asking for help and assistance either in quality health care, food and shelter, legal aid, security, education or skill acquisition, and we feel helpless because we dont have enough funds.

Your donation will help us reach out to these poor girl and assist them morally, finacially, legally and otherwise. Help us save the girl child for a better society.
