We’re delighted to announce that HANDS has signed a new grant agreement with Plan International and Save the Children International!
Through the European Union–funded Accelerated Basic Education Programme (ABEP), we will be advancing inclusive education and livelihoods in Nigeria.
Our work will span Kano, Jigawa, and Sokoto States, with a strong focus on ensuring that women, youth, and children with disabilities are meaningfully included in education and economic opportunities.
In Kano and Jigawa, HANDS will support schools and communities to break down barriers to learning, strengthen referral and support systems, and link learners to livelihood pathways.
In Sokoto, we will provide technical support through Disability Audits and a Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) Survey, generating evidence to guide practical, adaptive solutions.
By combining these efforts, ABEP will help expand access to safe, flexible, and quality learning while opening doors for greater economic participation for people who are too often left behind.
We extend our sincere appreciation to the European Union, Plan International, and Save the Children International for their partnership in driving this important work. Together, we are making education accessible and meaningful for all.
Stay tuned as we share milestones, insights, and impact from communities across the three states.
