Life Skills Training Program for 500 School Girls

We are grateful to GlobalGiving and our donors for your continued support of the Christopher Kolade Foundation. As we move through the year, the Foundation remains committed to equipping adolescent girls with the knowledge and skills they need to make informed decisions, protect themselves from abuse, and build brighter futures.

While training activities have not yet resumed since our last report, the Foundation has been working closely with the Lagos State Ministry of Education to secure the approvals required to implement and expand the Life Skills Training Program in public secondary schools across the state. These engagements are a critical step toward program delivery, and we are encouraged by the progress made so far.

To date, 119 girls have benefited from the Life Skills Training Program. Our goal remains to reach 500 girls, and we continue to mobilize the resources and partnerships needed to achieve this target. We remain optimistic about commencing program activities at the start of the next school session later this year.

Meanwhile, the Foundation continues to invest in the educational advancement of young women through the Soars Scholarship Program. As of the end of 2025, 102 scholars across 30 universities in Nigeria remain enrolled in the program, receiving support to pursue their tertiary education and build successful futures.

Thank you for your continued partnership. We look forward to sharing further updates as program activities resume and our impact expands.

As we begin the new year, we remain committed to equipping adolescent school girls with the skills and confidence they need to thrive. To date, 119 girls have been reached through the Life Skills Training Program. Each participant has gained practical knowledge and skills in identifying and responding to abuse, asserting her rights, and building resilience against sexual coercion and pressure.

Our goal for the year remains to reach 500 girls through the Life Skills Training Program. We are actively working to secure the necessary support and mobilize resources required to resume sessions in the upcoming school term. Many adolescent girls in our target schools continue to face vulnerabilities that this program is specifically designed to address, and we are committed to ensuring they have access to the knowledge, tools, and support systems needed to make safe and informed life choices.

Meanwhile, we continue to invest in the long-term educational advancement of young women through the Soars Scholarship Program. As of the end of 2025, 102 girls across 30 universities in Nigeria are currently enrolled in the program. These scholars represent a growing network of resilient and purpose-driven young women who are being supported to complete their tertiary education and contribute meaningfully to society.

We are deeply grateful for the continued support of our GlobalGiving donors. Your commitment enables us to sustain momentum and extend our reach to many more girls in the months ahead.
