Nada Foundation is a British non-profit charitable organization dedicated to ending child marriage globally. Founded in 2017 by Nada Alahdal, the foundation aims to eradicate child marriage, promote economic independence for girls, and enhance their overall well-being.
Established initially in Yemen in 2017, the foundation actively engages in initiatives to support girls' education and provide safe havens for those at risk of early marriage (child marriage). Recognized for its significant contributions, the organization received an international award in London in 2020, acknowledging its importance in the Middle East and North Africa, particularly in association with Wearepurposeful.[1] Nada Foundation actively participates in the DO GOOD ORGANISATION, advocating for an end to child marriage.
Collaborating with governments, Nada Foundation plays a crucial role in developing, implementing, and monitoring strategies to combat child marriage on a national scale. The organization emphasizes information sharing and public awareness as key components of its national partnerships with Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the United Kingdom.
History[edit]
Founded in 2017 by human rights activist Nada al-Ahdal, Nada Foundation began as a collaborative effort between organizations and the government of Yemen to address and end child marriage. In April 2023, the foundation achieved independent charity status in England and Wales.[2]
Goals and strategies[edit]
Nada Foundation actively collaborates with other organizations in pursuit of its goal to end child marriage. Strategies include information sharing through discussions and community-based awareness campaigns at local, national, and international levels.
The organization's goals and strategies from 2023 were categorized into six key areas: Government, Global, Community, Funding, Learning, and Partnership. These include efforts to ensure comprehensive efforts to end child marriage in high-prevalence countries, support the implementation of commitments on a global scale, emphasize community-led approaches, allocate dedicated resources in budgets, and contribute to learning and research on child marriage and its impacts.
