Education is the passport to the future of the girl child. Education they say is the bedrock for the development of any society. The development nations of the world started by ensuring that the educating of the women was given the priority it deserved. We have taken up this challenge of educating the girl child around the world. We would educate the girl child in science, technology and arts, so that corruption, insecurity and poverty will be erased from our national and international profile.


Truthfully, there are many challenges confronting our society, but we are more concerned about ending all forms of violence against women and girls, and other harmful practices. We also concerned about the education of the girl child, including the physically challenged female children. The physically challenged female children are being neglected, expose to dangerous practices in the name of begging for arms. Today and tomorrow, we are saying No to this because they can do better than that.

Who are physically challenged people? These are people with one form of deformity or the other ranging from blindness, cripple, deaf and dumb, etc. We can and must deviate from comparing physically deformed female children with the mentally deranged. There are huge differences between the blind, deaf, cripple and insane. The blind, cripple and dumb can utilize their brains in solving economic and societal problems. Consequently, we should desist from equating them with the insane.

These girls are unique and special. The society doesn't have to blame them. They were not created to be deformed, but due to unforeseen circumstances, ignorance and carelessness on the side of the parents. They were found on these painful and pitiable situations. But, we can do something to better their lives. Sending them to school should be a priority. They should be seen as special, in dealing with them, they should not be neglected. It is unanimously agreed that some female children in the same situation has turned out to be successful in different fields of life like music, trading, arts, lecturing, etc. But all these can only be achieved when the veils covering their faces are removed and they begin to see clearly even when there is no eye. The question is, how can these veils be removed? There is only one way to remove these veils, the way is EDUCATION.

Educate the physically challenged girls. She is gifted. She will live to take care of herself, her family and contribute her quota to the sustainable economic development of the society at large. We would not stop to educate the physically challenged girls who our society would be proud of because their potentialities can facilitate the growth and development of a nation.

SAY YES TO GIRL CHILD EDUCATION INCLUDING THE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED GIRLS.
