We Have David Oyelowo Foundation Scholars in Ibadan!

After a thorough test, interview and verification process, 10 girls were chosen for the GEANCO 2019 scholarships. Each girl’s story is unique and compassion-pulling. We are glad to be part of their life stories. One girl educated is indeed a generation educated! These girls now enjoy a full scholarship at Fruitful Vines College, Ibadan.
