CEWHIN - CENTRE FOR WOMEN'S HEALTH AND INFORMATION

The Boys on the Scholarship Fund
Male Recipients of the WODANET Scholarship

Although the scholarship fund was set up strictly for girls, the Centre comes into contact with boys that are in dare need of help and therefore extends support to boys in such exceptional cases. In such cases, specific individuals who are willing to take responsibility for such boys are sought for.

In other words boys are not placed on the general list of recipients, but are attached to specific individuals who have accepted to take full responsibility for their fees. Two of such donors whom have volunteered to and have diligently paid the fees of these male recipients, prefer to be anonymous and to relate to the boys through the Centre.

Thomas Mark Adedeji

Thomas is a medical student of the University of Ibadan. Adedeji, had through his hard work seen himself through secondary school and was able to pay for his tuition fees at the university.

He however, had financial difficulty with raising funds for his upkeep, books and other learning materials (e.g. handouts). He was introduced to the Centre by members of staff of Project Alert who came across him during their project working with domestic workers and violence against women.
