Novessa Foundation
In many parts of Nigeria, the transition from one school year to the next is blocked by uniforms, books, and small school fees that families cannot absorb.
Novessa's micro-grant support focuses on those invisible barriers. In Amina's case, one targeted grant covered notebooks, a uniform, and shoes within 48 hours.
The immediate result was attendance. The deeper result was confidence, belonging, and a renewed sense that school was still hers to claim.
I used to stay home three days a week because I did not have what I needed for school.
