Help Rotimi start the school year with the right tools
Rotimi won a place at Lagos Technical College but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.
🇳🇬 Lagos, Nigeria1,301 views
Rotimi earned a place in Form 4 at Lagos Technical College, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the mathematics course, and a uniform.
The family has few resources; the list costs $150, which is more than they have.
Rotimi loves mathematics and wants to become a nurse. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours.
He will take care of everything given and works very hard.
I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything.
Where the $150 goes:
• Laptop: $90
• School uniform and shoes: $25
• Textbooks and workbooks: $20
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $15
I hope life is good to you.

Update from Lagos: I met with the school supplier and confirmed the amounts. We're at 65% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Quick update: $72 raised so far (48%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 41% now ($62). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

thinking of you, Uchenna. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in San Sebastián donated after I showed her your page.
Stay strong, Uchenna. Hope this works out for you. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Lagos.
Thinking of you. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Sent it to 5 people at work. God bless
