According to the UN, 8.7 million Nigerian children aged 6-11 are out of school, and 5 million of them are estimated to be girls.
According to the World Bank, the expected years of schooling for a Nigerian woman aged 15 and above is 8.77 compared to 9.7 for men. Only 49.6% of the female population are literates.
Our Goal is to empower women with the capacity to pursue their dreams, earn a living, and find their voices within society, while contributing to economic prosperity.
WRAP empowers and encourages young girls to improve their love for reading and to stay in school. We do this through our libraries, book clubs, scholarships, mentoring opportunities, and improving girls participation in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) programs.
Our goal is to provide a space where young girls can feel safe, have fun, make new friends, and be a part of a community of fellow game-changers and with our mission to empower young women through sustainable educational and entrepreneurial initiatives to enhance community development, that goal is not far fetched.
