Notice: Function convert_to_screen(), add_meta_box() was called incorrectly. Likely direct inclusion of wp-admin/includes/template.php in order to use add_meta_box(). This is very wrong. Hook the add_meta_box() call into the add_meta_boxes action instead. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

A path to a prosperous future has been paved for Makinde Elizabeth, a young girl who used to sell assorted items on the streets of Lagos despite coming from a low-income family.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth became a Twitter sensation when she caught the attention of the founder of Tech in Slums Africa.<\/p>\n

Tunde Onakoya, the founder of Tech In Slums Africa, revealed that he first encountered her in 2021 while she was hawking biscuits beneath the Oshodi Bridge in Lagos. After joining his project to get kids off the streets through chess, she was given the chance to continue her education.<\/p>\n
He stated that despite Elizabeth and her mother\u2019s lack of housing, Elizabeth expressed interest in attending school.<\/p>\n
Tunde added that he paid for her entrance exams, which she completed so well that she was granted admission to the University of Lagos to pursue a degree in history and education.<\/p>\n

Today, she gained admission into Unilag to study education and history. I\u2019m not crying, I promise Hope is everything. Okay, let\u2019s help Elizabeth settle into undergraduate life with ease. They still don\u2019t have a place to live and she still does menial jobs (cleaning homes and offices) to support her mother.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re still fully committed to paying her tuition through University but I think at this point, she needs a female mentor more than anything else. Please send @iamainembabazi a message if you can commit some time to mentor her. We can\u2019t stop believing.\u201d<\/p>\n
