THE Liberated Girl Project

The Liberated Girl Project represents a transformative partnership between the Jean F. Herskovits Foundation and Community Outreach for Educational Change Nigeria, aimed at empowering young girls in Southern Kaduna. This initiative focuses on providing full scholarships to 63 Atyap girls who have been profoundly affected by the recent insurgency and ongoing crises in the region. By addressing the educational needs of these girls, the project seeks to foster resilience and provide them with opportunities for a brighter future.
The project not only addresses the immediate educational needs of the scholarship recipients but also aims to promote long-term community development. Education is a powerful tool for social change, and by investing in the education of these young women, The Liberated Girl Project seeks to challenge the socio-economic barriers that have been exacerbated by conflict. The scholarships will cover tuition, books, and other essential resources, ensuring that the girls can focus on their studies and personal growth without financial burdens.
Through this partnership, the Jean F. Herskovits Foundation and Community Outreach for Educational Change Nigeria are not only supporting individual students but are also working towards rebuilding and strengthening their communities. By empowering Atyap girls with education, the project fosters a generation of leaders who can contribute positively to their society. Ultimately, The Liberated Girl Project symbolizes hope, resilience, and the transformative power of education in the face of adversity.
