The Her Dignity Initiative is a girl-child empowerment initiative working to help girls in Nigeria access the resources, support and opportunities they need to learn, grow and fulfil their potential.
Ready for School is a back-to-school support project to help 20 girls begin or resume school with essential learning items. Each selected girl will receive a school bag, school shoes, a school uniform and basic textbooks.
The aim is simple: reduce some of the immediate costs associated with returning to school, and help girls start the school year better equipped.

A note on figures. Funds are raised in euros and items are bought in Nigeria in naira. The kit is budgeted at ₦125,000 (bag, shoes and uniform at ₦25,000 each, textbooks at ₦50,000), which is about €83. Euro amounts are indicative; what a euro buys depends on the exchange rate, transfer charges and purchasing costs when funds are converted, and any difference will be reported to supporters.

The selection process will be handled respectfully, fairly and with consideration for the privacy of each girl.
