Benefiting Education of Girls in Nigeria (BEGIN) is a US-based non-governmental organization which aims to help young poor or underprivileged women and girls aged 4 to 25 from Northern Nigeria to have greater access to education.
It was founded in May 2017 by Dr Hussain Kasim, a Nigerian-American who works in Lagos, Nigeria.
Although BEGIN has a strong focus on helping girls with their university education, it also helps younger girls from very poor backgrounds to continue their studies from elementary school to high school and eventually to university.
