Creating better learning outcomes for girls goes beyond building classrooms.

In one Ethiopian programme, girls’ attendance during menstruation increased from 30% to 68% after schools introduced menstrual hygiene support—showing how simple, integrated interventions can remove barriers to education.

This week’s Rise Up News explores how nutrition, water, sanitation and menstrual hygiene support are helping keep more girls in school across Africa—and what other countries can learn.

The first five years of life shape a child’s future, yet millions of Nigerian children are being left behind before they even start school.

The latest World Bank Nigeria Development Update reveals that 110 out of every 1,000 Nigerian children die before age five, 40% are stunted and more than half are not developmentally on track before starting school.

These are more than statistics. They are a reminder that investing in nutrition, healthcare, early learning and responsive caregiving can change lives.

Swipe through to learn what these numbers mean and why early childhood development matters for every child.

The decisions made today on girls’ education and women’s health will shape Africa’s future for generations. Staying informed is the first step towards driving meaningful change.

This week, Rise Up News spotlights two important stories: the implications of the UK’s decision to end its £45 million girls’ education programme, and new research calling for the integration of Female Ge***al Schistosomiasis (FGS) screening into routine healthcare to help protect millions of girls and women.

World Population Day reminds us that every number represents a person with hopes, dreams, and the right to thrive.

A growing population calls for greater investment in people—especially women, girls, and children. When communities have access to quality healthcare, education, and equal opportunities, they are better equipped to build healthier, more resilient futures.

At THAG Foundation, we remain committed to advancing the health, well-being, and empowerment of women, girls, and communities across Africa.

Together, let’s build a future where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Happy World Population Day! 🌍💙

If your ex is threatening you in your DMs; that is not something to ignore. That is a CRIME.

The Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Act 2015 criminalises threatening messages, sharing private photos without consent, and cyberstalking. Therefore the internet is not outside the law. Every message he sent is evidence.

Watch to the end to know exactly what to do in such case 👆

Save this post. Send it to someone who needs it, because every Nigerian girl deserves to know the law is on her side.
