Success Stories

1. AAWE’S First Graduate - Miss Joyce Omoruyi

With AAWE it was a dream come true by Miss Joyce Omoruyi It all started in 2004 as a 200level law student of University Of Benin. Before then, my only desire was to become a qualified lawyer. Little did I know that the said profession according to one of my lecturers is only for the affluence

The whole struggle started the same year. As a 200level student, I was no longer entitled to hostel accommodation. I was also introduced to a lot of courses where you need to buy expensive books and handouts from more than one lecturer for each course.

But God had a special plan for me by using my then parish priest, Rev. Fr. Cosmos A. Ojeme to reach me when AAWE scholarship came up. This became the backbone of my pursuit towards achieving a desired career objective in life.

I was not the only beneficiary of AAWE scholarship, my entire family also benefited from it. With the regular stipend I could pay for my school fees, accommodation, and dues, buy my books, foodstuff, assist my family etc. This was a great relief to my parents.

AAWE maintained this scholarship throughout my undergraduate program and extended it to my postgraduate studies in Nigerian Law School, Bwari-Abuja. With this I was able to maintain a high level of concentration on my studies. I did not have to go begging from men whose mentality ordinarily is to take advantage of you all in the name of “nothing goes for nothing,” “use what you have to get what you want,” “money for hand back for ground,” “life is give and take.”

My achievement in life today is founded on the support I got from AAWE. To this I say my family and I are ever grateful to AAWE for taking young girls out of the street of hungry men looking for young girls to devour. I am greatly indebted to this NOBLE ORGANISATION. And I say with GOD on my side, I will extend this kind gesture to others. I will fight for human rights.

Thank God that today, I am a qualified lawyer. I am a living testimony of God’s handiwork.

Long live AAWE!

Long live it’s Founder/President!

Long live my Donor!

TO GOD BE THE GLORY.

With the stipend I received each time, I was able to easily pay my school fee, buy my books, get my accommodation, feed and do other miscellaneous that enabled me have a happy schooling in the university, even up to the law school.

Am most grateful to AAWE

3. Juliet osi Aigbonoga Business Administration (University of Benin, 2008)

This is my testimony- When I got into the university in 2004, it was a dream come true. The finance to see me through each academic semester was not easy in coming. My infrequent funds came from my uncle. I struggled for two academic sessions until help came from AAWE. I was opportune to know about AAWE through Mrs Aghenta. My situation was brought to the knowledge of AAWE and I was interviewed and given a scholarship to finish my education. Apart from the scholarship, AAWE also kept me focused on my academic performance because I was asked to ensure that I keep having good grades. My self esteem increased because I do not have to beg for funds for my education. I graduated with second class honours, upper division. Now I have graduated, I am married and now doing my national Youth Service in Lagos. Thanks for everything AAWE.

4. Miss Betty Daodu: (Studying Economics and Statistics at the University of Benin)

AAWE has been a saving medium for me to go through my studies successfully. I am an orphan who had so many headaches on how I can go to the university without any difficulty. But the scholarship I subsequently got from AAWE was a timely intervention and it has helped me to take care of my school fees, textbooks, handouts, and personal needs. And each day I do not seize to pray for my donor who has a heart of love and magnanimity.
