Our mission is to inspire and educate young people by building their capacity, leadership and responsibility skills, and closing existing knowledge gaps that hinders their attainment of sustainable development drives. Since 2010, we have vigorously pursued our aim of helping Africa discover young leaders who would use their potential to build a rewarding political, social and economic space for the continent, meeting our target one community at a time. We have done this by initiating various programs and youth-driven response mechanisms in states across Nigeria and beyond. More-so, we are joining efforts with other youth organizations across the world to lend our voices on issues of growing concern, and to foster knowledge sharing.
Presently, we are closing existing knowledge and gender gaps through our Why Girls Matter project and deepening our relationship with organizations working within the UN/AU Framework and Charter on Youth, to ensure compliance, and timely implementation of Plan(s) of Action, as we seek to accelerate the repositioning of African youth in alignment with 21st century opportunities.

- Reproductive Health and Menstrual Hygiene Education Outreaches
- Literacy for Development
Poor menstrual hygiene caused by a lack of education on the issue, persisting taboos, and stigma, limited access to hygienic menstrual products and poor sanitation infrastructure undermines the educational opportunities, health, and overall social status of women and girls around the world. As a result, millions of women and girls are kept from reaching their full potential.
Menstrual Hygiene Day (MH Day) is a global advocacy platform that brings together the voices and actions of non-profits, government agencies, individuals, the private sector, and the media to promote good menstrual health and hygiene (MHH) for all women and girls.
