Coalition offers scholarship to 70 girls - Punch Newspapers

A group under the aegis of Feminist Coalition, has announced its desire to sponsor 70 girls through secondary school over a period of six years.The group made its stance known in a statement it issued ahead of the virtual inauguration of the programme.

In the statement titled, “The Feminist Coalition Girls Education Programme,’ the Co-founder, Damilola Odufuwa, said her group believed girls have the right to access quality education. She said, “The Feminist Coalition believes it is every girl’s right to access quality education. Women’s rights & safety is one of three pillars of our work and, undoubtedly, girls’ education is a space we are committed to working within, for the protection and advancement of Nigerian women.

“This is why we decided to start the Feminist Coalition Girls Education Programme. An annual full scholarship and mentorship programme for brilliant young girls from low-income backgrounds in Nigeria, whose largest barrier to quality education is financial. “In July 2021, we reached out to Teach For Nigeria, a non-profit organisation committed to ending educational inequity across the country. Teach for Nigeria was integral in selecting the right students for this opportunity. Together, we shortlisted 40 students from Ogun State to participate in an entrance examination.
