My name is Ebenezer, and I am 13 years old. Standing out as one of our primary 6 pupils is an honor, especially after achieving an impressive average grade of B in my national exams for primary four. This accomplishment is a stepping stone toward successfully completing primary seven by the end of 2026.

As I reflect on the impact of education, particularly here in Sub-Saharan Africa, I see its broader significance. Educating boys alongside girls is crucial in changing gender stereotypes and promoting respect for women's rights and equality. When boys are educated, they grow into men who support equitable relationships and are less likely to engage in domestic violence.

The education I receive is not just about improving job prospects or achieving economic stability; it is a fundamental building block that helps lift entire communities out of poverty. It empowers individuals to make informed health decisions, which ultimately benefit their families as well.

Most importantly, educated males can become role models, inspiring future generations to appreciate education and embrace equality. By supporting my education, I am investing in my future and contributing to the development of stronger, more equitable societies.

Currently, there is a chance to further my education. For £25 a month, I can continue my schooling, or a one-off payment of £300 would ensure that I receive education for an entire year. Supporting my journey means participating in the pursuit of a brighter, more equitable future for everyone.
