Impact in
Northern Nigeria
The Centre for Girls Education (CGE), with programmatic and financial support from OASIS, is a pioneer in the adaptation of the safe space methodology to meet adolescent girls’ need for basic literacy and numeracy skills, vocational training, and crucial life skills not usually offered at home or in school. Over 200,000 girls across seven states in northern Nigeria have now taken part in safe space clubs.
