Education Grants, 2019

Our foundation has provided grants to some indigent but deserving students from different parts of Abia State. Some of these grants have been used for tuition fees, payment of registration fees for National Exams (WAEC/NECO) and supporting people attending adult education. In 2016 we paid tuition fees for 15 students in primary and secondary schools in Obingwa LGA, and provided library materials for 2 secondary schools.
