Dear Friend,
The urgency to advance sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and to end gender-based violence (GBV) in Guma LGA, Benue State, has reached a critical point. Ongoing conflict, mass displacement, and pervasive poverty have created a perfect storm, leaving women and girls increasingly exposed to exploitation, abuse, and harmful practices like early marriage. According to the World Health Organization and UNFPA, up to 30% of women in Nigeria experience some form of GBV in their lifetimes, and Benue State is among the hardest hit.
Every day we wait, more girls are denied their childhoods through forced marriage, more women endure violence in silence, and the window for meaningful, lasting change narrows. These aren’t just statistics—they represent real lives, real futures at risk. Young girls are pulled out of school, mothers are left without support, and entire families suffer the consequences of inaction.
But your support changes everything. With every donation, you help us deliver urgent SRHR education, provide safe spaces for survivors, and engage communities in breaking cycles of violence. You help us build systems that protect girls now and for generations to come.
The time to act is now. Your gift will bring immediate, lifesaving impact and hope to thousands who need it most. Please, don’t let another day pass without making a difference.
Let’s create a safer, brighter future—donate today.
In solidarity,
The GoGreen Team
