On the day they paid my fees, I wept...

Here's a heart-warming story from Blessing. Support was provided in conjunction with S.M.I.L.E.  

In her own words...

I know the value of getting an education and the benefits it has in giving more opportunities for people like me from low-income backgrounds. 

After graduating from high school, I didn’t bother sitting for the university entrance examination offered by JAMB because it was glaring my family can’t afford any fees and I’ve just been lucky to get a secondary school education provided freely by the government.
