The leading global organization with the belief that a better world is possible said it has concluded plans to commence the Girls Improving Resilience through Livelihoods and Health (GIRL-H) Programme, targeting 14,000 adolescents in Lagos State and 12, 000 youths in Kano State.

The programme aims to improve the well-being of adolescents and young people by increasing their access to and uptake of life skills, and financial literacy, as well as foster pathways to economic opportunities in Nigeria.

The programme manager, Jennifer Madueke, at the official launch of the programme in Lagos, said the Girl-H Programme is to be implemented in Lagos and Kano states through Mercy Corps’ partners: Action Health Incorporated (AHI) and Isa Wali Empowerment Initiative (IWEI) respectively.

Madueke said the GIRL-H Nigeria will build the resilience of 26,000 adolescent and young people in marginalized communities in Lagos (14,000) and Kano (12,000) Nigeria, adding that the model is built on the lessons of the Educating Nigerian Girls in New Enterprises (ENGINE) amongst other similar agency wide programmes.
