Our Mission & Vision
About 9ja Girls United
Our Mission
At 9JA Girls United, our mission is to break the barriers that hinder Nigerian girls from accessing quality education and opportunities. We are dedicated to empowering these girls by providing mentorship, educational support, and exposure to diverse opportunities. Through our programs and initiatives, we aim to dismantle societal norms that limit their potential, fostering an environment where every Nigerian girl can thrive and succeed.
Vision for Change
Our vision is a Nigeria where gender does not determine a girl's access to education or opportunities. We envision a society that values and prioritizes the education and empowerment of girls, enabling them to become confident, capable leaders of tomorrow. We strive to create a world where Nigerian girls are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to pursue their aspirations, breaking free from limitations imposed by traditional gender roles.
CORE VALUES
Equality
Equal Access and Opportunities: We are dedicated to dismantling systemic barriers that hinder Nigerian girls from accessing quality education and opportunities. Our relentless pursuit of equality extends beyond advocating for change; it involves actively creating pathways where every girl, irrespective of background or societal norms, has equitable access to education, mentorship, and resources. We strive to ensure that no girl is left behind due to cultural, economic, or societal constraints.
Empowerment
- Fostering Self-Confidence: Empowerment lies at the heart of our mission. We believe in cultivating a strong sense of self-worth and confidence in Nigerian girls, nurturing their belief in their capabilities and potential. Through tailored programs, mentorship, and skill-building initiatives, we aim to equip girls with the tools and mindset needed to navigate challenges, make informed decisions, and pursue their aspirations fearlessly.
- Education as a Tool: Education is a transformative tool for empowerment. Beyond academics, we emphasize holistic education, encompassing life skills, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence. By providing a well-rounded education, we empower girls to become leaders, change-makers, and advocates for themselves and their communities.
Diversity & Inclusivity
- Embracing Diversity: Nigeria's rich cultural tapestry drives us to embrace and celebrate diversity. We recognize the uniqueness of each girl's background, experiences, and aspirations. Our programs are designed to honor this diversity, ensuring that each initiative is inclusive and adaptable, catering to the diverse needs and contexts of Nigerian girls across regions, ethnicities, and socio-economic backgrounds.
- Tailored Programs: We understand that a one-size-fits-all approach isn't effective. To genuinely uplift Nigerian girls, our programs are thoughtfully crafted to address the specific challenges and opportunities within each community. By tailoring our initiatives to suit diverse contexts, we ensure that every girl receives relevant support and guidance to thrive.
Collaboration
Amplifying Impact through Collaboration: Collaboration is fundamental to our approach. We believe in the collective power of partnerships. By collaborating with individuals, organizations, and institutions that share our vision, we leverage collective strengths, resources, and expertise. These partnerships amplify our impact, enabling us to implement more effective and sustainable solutions that reach and benefit a greater number of Nigerian girls.
