An active youth campaigner in Niger’s Dosso region, 21-year-old Hadjara is known for her charisma, passion and and determination to promote and defend children’s rights.
Wanting to do more to help vulnerable children in her community, Hadjara came up with a plan which she proposed to other young activists in her network.
Orphaned at a young age, Hadjara is lucky to be among the 24% of girls who are not married before their 18 birthday in Niger.
Hadjara learnt how to become a youth leader and inspire action for children’s and girls’ rights by taking part in Plan International’s Champions of Change programme.
As the COVID-19 crisis continues in Niger, Plan International is responding across the country with the aim of reaching more than 100,000 people in vulnerable communities, including refugee and internally displaced persons camps.
