Established in 2003 with the goal of addressing the wide gender gap in girl’s enrollment in school, especially in the northern part of the country, Girl Child Concerns has continuously sought ways of improving the lives of girls and women in Nigeria. With offices in Abuja, Kaduna and Maiduguri its numerous interventions have not only provided access to education for young girls, but also provided them awareness on their reproductive lives, rights, entitlements and responsibility. To achieve this, the organisation targets the legislature, religious and traditional leaders as well as communities and institutions. Girl Child Concerns provides holistic interventions that meet the needs of vulnerable adolescent girls especially those from poor rural areas, disadvantaged and undeserved groups like married adolescent and girls in humanitarian settings.
