Girl Child Concerns was established in 2003 with the goal of improving the lives of vulnerable girls and their families by addressing the inequality in access to formal education experienced by girls from poor, rural and disadvantaged communities especially in the northern part of Nigeria and Africa. Girl Child Concerns has continuously sought ways of improving the lives of girls and women through innovative and sustainable ways such as economic empowerment, Health, Education and awareness as well as training communities to be responsible citizens and encourage accountability. The organization has empowered and promoted girl child education and provided educational support to young people through its Female Students Scholarships Scheme (FSSS), Safe Spaces, and life skills development in Kaduna, Plateau, Katsina, Yobe, Kebbi, Sokoto, Zamfara and Borno States in Nigeria and through its partners in Ethiopia and Ghana.
