🎓 A university degree
💼 Two years of business or professional experience
🌍 Real-world life skills, ASL, music, money management, and community service
💡 Zero debt and lifelong purpose

“I was 20, home for 3 years after high school. No money for college. No hope.
I tried learning trades, looked for anything. Every day I wondered if my dreams were dead.
Then I was awarded a scholarship from YBM.
Now I’m in Year 4 studying Accounting and launching SmartShop - the first student marketplace platform in Nigeria. Students across Africa will use it to buy, sell, and trade.
Your donation took me from hopeless to building something that serves tens of thousands.
I’ll graduate debt-free with a business and a future I thought was impossible.”
- Akinsola, Age 24, Accounting Major, Founder of SmartShop
