"My great-aunt set up savings accounts for all of her female relatives. In our culture, education for women is not really valued and she thought that was unfair. She funded the education of as many of her nieces and grandnieces as she could. When she passed away, she left money for every girl relative she could," she revealed.

She added:

"My parents managed to access the accounts that were set up for my sister and me. They used it to pay for my brother's wedding. My sister didn't care because she got married two years out of high school and had no intention of going to college. When I graduated, I went to the bank to get money for school and it was almost all gone.
