Networking Session 1- NSF (UK) planning meeting @ Lagos Island Restaurant (London) on 12th January 2019.

Lily Nwamaraihe -Chief Executive Officer of Project Girl foundation is on a mission to help educate, inspire, empower girls and to close the literacy gender gap in rural Nigeria. Lily discovered that fate had dealt girls in particular a cruel hand as they faced a mountain of challenges including; being physically and sexually abused, violence, gender bias with males receiving preferential treatment, teenage pregnancy (high in rural areas) and child marriage.

So at the meeting, Lily brought members’ attention to her remarkable Charity, "Project Girl foundation", which she hoped will transform the lives of the girls and perhaps Nigeria too. She is starting off in rural Nkanu-East, a Local Government Area of Enugu State, Nigeria. If successful, she hoped to scale-up across Nigeria.

The Project Girl Foundation is doing incredible work to bridge the literacy gender gap in rural Nigeria—an empowering mission that uplifts future generations of women. Education is a powerful tool for equality, and initiatives like this lay the groundwork for real change. For students inspired by such efforts, exploring feminist thesis topics can be a meaningful way to contribute academically to gender advocacy. Let's continue to support and celebrate these impactful movements!
