Adolescent girls face a unique intersection of vulnerabilities that can determine the trajectory of their lives.

In many parts of Nigeria and across Africa, early marriage, lack of access to reproductive health services, school dropouts, gender-based violence, and cultural stigmas pose serious barriers to their development.

Yet, when given the tools and platforms to thrive, adolescent girls become powerful agents of change in their communities.

Part of CSHP Foundation’s initiatives is designed to address these realities through a multi-pronged approach.

Our programs focus on health education (including menstrual hygiene, reproductive health, and STIs), leadership development, mentorship, and access to adolescent-friendly health services.

We also engage parents, religious leaders, and community influencers to foster supportive environments for young girls.

Our vision is to have a society where teenage pregnancy drops by a considerable number and to roll out peer-led health clubs and mentorship programs across several communities.

The ultimate goal of this initiatives ls to have girls who were once felt voiceless now lead advocacy campaigns, participate in decision-making forums, and inspire others to stay in school and pursue higher aspirations.

Empowering girls is more than a social cause — it is a smart investment with lifelong dividends.

As we continue to expand this program across more communities, our goal remains clear: a Nigeria where every girl can grow, learn, lead, and thrive.
