Catch them Young: Digitize Sex Education for Girls

Dear donors,

We are reaching out for your support to launch the “Catch Them Young: Digitize Sex Education for Girls” project. No donations have been received yet, and your help is needed to give these girls access to critical knowledge that is often unavailable in schools or at home.

Many adolescent girls aged 10–16, especially in rural or low-income areas, lack safe, private, and reliable information about puberty, sexual health, consent, and personal safety. Without this guidance, girls often rely on unsafe sources or remain silent out of fear, leaving them vulnerable to abuse, early pregnancy, and misinformation.

This project will provide 150 girls with offline tablets preloaded with educational videos, audio guides in local languages, interactive quizzes, pictorial guides, and chatbots. The materials cover puberty, contraception, consent, safe touch, LGBTQIA+ inclusion, STIs, and gender-based violence. Tablets will be used in secure group sessions led by trained female facilitators, giving girls a private, respectful way to learn without needing internet access.

By equipping girls with knowledge and practical tools, the project will help them make informed decisions, protect their health, and avoid harm. The tablets can also be reused or shared with younger girls, extending the impact beyond the initial group. Over time, this effort can reduce early pregnancies, gender-based violence, and misinformation, while encouraging girls to stay in school and pursue their goals confidently.

Your support can help us start this vital project, providing these young girls with the education and protection they deserve. Every contribution brings us closer to safer, healthier, and better-informed communities.

Warm regards,

Dear Donors,

We are yet to receive donations for this project, but we remain committed to our vision of providing safe and accurate digital sex education for young girls. In Nigeria, teenage pregnancy rates remain high, with UNICEF reporting that 19% of girls are married before the age of 15, and more than 40% before 18. Without access to reliable information, many girls are left vulnerable to exploitation, early marriage, and preventable health challenges.

The aim of this project is to digitize sex education in a way that is age-appropriate, private, and accessible. Through mobile-friendly platforms, we will deliver lessons on reproductive health, consent, and personal safety. This will not only fill the gap left by the absence of structured sex education in many schools but also protect young girls from misinformation spread by unsafe sources.

The neglect of sexual health education continues to harm generations of girls, locking many into cycles of poverty and poor health outcomes. With your support, we can change this by giving girls the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their bodies and futures.

We kindly thank all prospective donors who may consider this project. Your generosity can open a path to education and protection for thousands of girls who would otherwise remain at risk. We look forward to sharing positive updates with you once the first contributions are received.

With appreciation,
Kadiri, Ugbede-Ojo Dominic
