Thousands of Nigerian students drop out every year — not because they failed, but because they couldn't afford to continue.
Across Northern Nigeria, school fees remain one of the leading causes of student dropout. Families who want their children educated are forced to pull them out because the amount needed — often less than the cost of a meal for a donor — is insurmountable for a household living on subsistence income.
This is not a story about ambition or effort. It is a story about a structural gap between families who want to educate their children and a system that has no mechanism to connect them with people who can help.
We are developing a platform that connects students who cannot afford school fees directly with donors who can close that gap. No bureaucracy. No overhead maze. A student's name. Their school. The exact amount they need. That's it.
We are in the needs assessment phase. The research we conduct now — on who drops out, why, and what the right intervention model looks like — will determine every design decision that follows.
