About Us
Wendy Copp — “where educational deprivation exists, it breeds conflict and enables repression”
Arm the Child Foundation (ATCF) a women-led non-profit working to expand access to quality education for internally displaced and vulnerable children, particularly girls at risk of early and forced marriage due to displacement, poverty, and systemic barriers to education in North Central Nigeria.
Our work focuses on addressing education gaps created by conflict, displacement, and gender inequality. We design and implement programmes that combine direct education support, mentorship, and advocacy to ensure that vulnerable children are able to enrol, remain in school, and transition successfully through their education.
Through partnerships with schools, communities, and key stakeholders, ATCF delivers context-responsive and impact-driven interventions that prioritise long-term educational outcomes. Guided by evidence and community engagement, we are committed to strengthening education systems that protect children, promote gender inclusion, and enable sustainable futures.
