"We decided to embark on this scholarship scheme because we know that education is the best tool to effect change in any society. When you want to develop a community, you talk about education, so instead of maybe using the money for some other thing, we decided to launch this scholarship scheme. Our goal is to empower 100 students, and just imagine where these 100 are able to empower 10 others each, how much impact that will make on our community," she said.
