CONGRATULATIONS: Her dream to be a NURSE become possible at age 21

By Keturah Shammah | Executive Director

Dear Partners,

We are thrill to bring you GOODNEWS having one of our girls become a registered Nurse at 21.

Hen-Hujj was one of our pioneer scholars whom at some point Girls Education Mission Internation could'nt provide full support due to extreme financial limitations. However with strong advocacy Hen-Hujj parents become inspired to ensure her dream become possible. And today at 21 years, Hen.-Hujj graduated from School of Nursing as registered Nurse which has been her dream growing up.

To give back to the society, Hen- Hujj said "

Inspired by my background coming from the Northern part of Nigeria, I become passionate to advocating for the education of girls having had to complete school nursing that certified me a registered Nurse against the community background I have found myself. The more reason why Iam passionate about girls education is to be able to advocate for there right to go to school to avoid illiteracy in aspect of teenage pregnancy, early marriage and relationship in the sense of having unwanted pregnancy and even abortion which may later lead to death. As a Registered nurse, I believe girls should be educated to avoid the risk of infection and maternal death rate and I am committed to educating them. My plan, is to support girls in my community in areas of sexual and reproductive health education and campaing, including providing them with Free sanitary pad and awareness to avoid the risk of unwanted pregnancy and illiegal abortion. Being a beneficiary and now a Girl peer mentor with Girls Education Mission International, my wish is to have GEM provide me with opportunity to build my my capcity in area of leadership and advocacy to enable me bring a lasting change in my community and the nation at large".

As a supporter of Girls Eduation mission International, you are an integral part of our work, helping us to support the dreams of girls like Hen-Hujj who is now educated and empowered and willing to empowere other girls. With your generosity, GEM will educate more girls and prepare them for leadership ahead.

So Please, keep faith with our vision and support us more as we we need you NOW more than ever.

We can't wait to see what the future holds for Hen-Hujj and other girls we support.

Thank you for believing and investing in our cause for girls in Nigeria

With gratitude from all of us at Girls Edcation Mission International

By Keturah Shammah | Project Leader

GEM Executive Director with TYDF CEO

Dear supporters,

We are thrilled to inform you that Girls Education Mission International (GEM) and TY Danjuma Foundation (TYDF) renewed their annual partnership to Five years. Speaking during the event, The Chief Executive Officer of the TYDF stated that the Foundation’s new strategic shift from an annual to a multi year partnership approach aimed at building long-lasting, impactful and sustainable partnerships.

While receiving the grant agreement today 10th February 2023 at Hilton Transcorp Hotel Abuja, the Executive Director of GEM Mrs. Keturah Shammah louds the Foundation’s effort in organizing the project inception meeting which according to the CEO of TYDF, was “an avenue for the Foundation and its partners to lay the groundwork for effective and efficient implementation of mutually conceptualized life-touching projects to reach over 3 million Nigerians in 5 years.

He stressed that “in view of the new strategy, the inception meeting was a vital onboarding process for grantees to imbibe the specifics and requirements for achieving the Foundation’s strategic goals and objectives for the 5-year period”

Within the past 4 years, GEM has partnered with TYDF to improve access to quality education most especially for girls in Plateau State through its “Girls Education Now Or Never” and “Linking Teachers Welfare With Quality And Standard” projects. These projects has enabled GEM to provide scholarships, Sanitary Pad and mentorship to over 100 girls, trained over 200 teachers and education quality assurance officers and donated textbooks, whiteboard, markers and dusters to over 100 school across the 17 LGAs of Plateau.

The renewed long term partnership will scale the project to other states in the Northeast Nigeria where access to quality education most especially for girls is difficult. For the next five years, through the “Quality Education For Lifelong Learning” project, GEM will work to help ensure access to quality education in Bauchi, Gombe, Yobe and Borno States.

This is really a great milestone for ALL OF US. It is your believe in our mission and consitent support to our work that has earned us this partnership which now results to nothing but a reward to the beneficiaries of our projects.

We don't take your support for granted. We remain committed to multiplying the impact of your investment by being transparent and accontable to you and our program beneficaries.

THANK YOU for believing in our Vision

THAK YOU for trusting us with your resources

THANK YOU for making our mission possible
