Challenge

In Northern Nigeria, many face injustice in daily life. Barriers to education, early marriage, child labor, and gender-based violence prevent youth from reaching their potential. Families often lack access to legal support or awareness of their rights. These challenges leave vulnerable populations exposed to harm and limit their future opportunities.

Solution

Alexander, Preston, Valeria, Evangelina, Katherine, Dominic, and Benjamin are partnering with educators, advocates, and community leaders to develop campaigns focused on education, protection, and legal awareness. Interns help create outreach materials, support school-based and public workshops, and elevate community voices. Their work empowers people with knowledge and tools to seek justice and opportunity.

Long-Term Impact

As part of Leadership Initiatives' International Program, Alexander, Preston, Valeria, Evangelina, Katherine, Dominic, and Benjamin are working with communities in Dungal, Nigeria, to advocate for increased access to education, more protections for children (especially young girls), and gender equality. By gathering stories from the community, conducting research, and developing outreach campaigns, interns are committing themselves to promoting lasting community change.
