Girls' Advancement

Provide a Scholarship for a girl in secondary school

Continuing their education empowers girls to make informed decisions about their lives, helping to break the gender inequality cycle by challenging traditional gender roles and stereotypes.


Keeping girls in school

Only 9% of girls in Niger will complete primary school and fewer than 5% will continue to middle school. Remember Niger’s Girls’ Advancement program provides critical access to secondary education for girls by giving them the opportunity to enroll in and stay in school through our scholarship program. Their chances of success are bolstered through the targeted tutoring and mentorship that is included in the program. We also work to educate parents and communities regarding the value and importance of girls’ education. This threefold approach addresses many barriers girls in Niger face in acquiring secondary education.

Through the Girls’ Advancement scholarships, girls are provided tuition, supplies, transportation, and other critical support so that they can continue their education beyond primary school. This programing is a crucial element to our overall work, as the more educated girls become, rates of early marriage and number of pregnancies will decline. This will improve overall well-being of not only women in Niger, but entire communities.

The more educated a girl is, the more likely she is to:

  • Marry later and have fewer children
  • Make informed choices regarding family planning, resulting in improved maternal and child health
  • Contribute to the financial well-being of her future family, helping to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty
  • Participate in the decision-making processes and conversations in their communities
