About SHE Reads
The Bethesda Child Support Foundation is set to launch the “SHE Reads” initiative. The cornerstone of this initiative is a comprehensive one-year intensive literacy program meticulously crafted to equip young women at the grass root with the ability to read and write.
Why SHE Reads
Statistics shows that there are 18.5 million out-of-school children in Nigeria and over 60% of whom are girls. One in three young women living in rural Nigeria cannot read and write. Putting it in perspective, 5 million young women within the ages of 15 and 24 years old in Nigeria cannot read and write a simple sentence (UNICEF, 2022)
Literacy is the bedrock of lifelong learning, unfortunately this skill remains elusive for far too many individuals, perpetuating cycles of poverty and hindering social and economic development.
Our mission
Our mission is to enroll, empower, and transform the lives of 5,000 out-of-school young women between the ages of 15 – 24years old living in rural Nigeria over the next five years (2024 – 2029).
Partner with us
We are calling on corporate organizations and well-meaning individuals to partner with us in addressing this challenge. Together, let us rewrite the narrative for these young women, empowering them to break free from the chains of illiteracy and chart their own path towards a brighter future (Social and Economic Advancement)
What do we need
Our goal is to enroll 5000 out of school girls in 5 years. For 2024, we need approximately 100million to enroll 1000 girls across the 4 geopolitical zones in Nigeria. This would cover literacy skills training and a complemental course in financial literacy and female oriented health awareness.
