Skool Every Girl Nigeria is a visionary Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) program. Our mission is simple yet profound: to ignite the spark of education among girls of all ages, empowering them to become change agents equipped with the knowledge, means, willingness, and courage to catalyze transformative action for sustainable and inclusive development in their communities.
In many parts of Nigeria, girls face numerous challenges that hinder their access to education, perpetuating cycles of poverty and limiting their potential. Skool Every Girl stands as a beacon of hope, recognizing the transformative power that education holds and dedicating itself to breaking down barriers that stand in the way of girls’ education.

Skool Every Girl cuts broadly across several thematic Education for Sustainable Transformation focus areas. Some of which which include.
Civic Education
Civic education (also known as citizen education or democracy education) can be broadly defined as the provision of information and learning experiences to equip and empower citizens to participate in democratic processes.
Human Rights Education
Human rights education (HRE) is the learning process that seeks to buildup knowledge, values, and proficiency in the rights that each person is entitled to. According to Amnesty International, HRE is a way to empower people, training them so their skills and behaviors will promote dignity and equality within their communities, societies, and throughout the world.
Climate Education
The main goals of climate education include building a sustainable future, inspiring action and practicing influencing skills at the social and personal levels. It is imperative not only to learn to understand climate change in-depth but also to change one’s own behaviour and actions.
Cultural Education
Cultural education consists in the development of all arts and heritage forms (music, language, literature, etc.). It contributes to knowledge transfer, personal development and participation in society. Cultural education enables people to discover ways of learning and communicating which are respectful to themselves and others. It promotes historical awareness, contributes to understanding individual identities and encourages creative, inquisitive attitudes that can benefit them throughout their lives.
