Two weeks ago, we met 8yrs old Samuel during school hours on the back of a tricycle truck heading to Nung Udoe for menial jobs. Upon enquiry, he mentioned that he wasn't in school because himself and his siblings were sent home for not paying the fees for this term and outstanding for last term.
Guess how much he was sent home for??? 12,000 Naira only.
We went to his school where we paid up his fees for the current term and offered to clear the outstanding for last term on our next visit.
We discussed the development casually with Evelyn Eyo, Executive Director of Safe space development foundation (SHADEF) who accepted to accompany us to the school on our next visit.
In partnership with SHADEF's Executive Director, Evelyn Eyo, we will be footing the education bill for Samuel and his siblings, including fees, uniforms, books and every outstanding fees.
We would love to support Samuel and his two siblings' entire primary education with your support.
