In Maiduguri, girls have few ways to build self esteem in safe spaces. But a renewed emphasis on girls’ athletics is changing that. A Girls for Peace initiative, sponsored by USAID’s Nigeria Lake Chad Basin program, donated equipment and facilitated a sports tournament for young women in three schools in Maiduguri.
The Nigeria Lake Chad Basin program is funded by the U.S. Agence pour le développement international’s Bureau des initiatives de transition.
