The Inspiring Story of Abdul: A Nigerian Boy’s Dream to Attend School

This is the story of Abdul, a young boy whose determination and love for learning captured our hearts. Abdul’s story is a reminder of the countless Nigerian children who are eager to go to school but are held back by poverty and difficult circumstances.

Abdul is the youngest of four children. His father works as a gatekeeper, and his older siblings—mostly teenagers—have never been to school. They spend their days doing menial jobs just to survive, their dreams lost in the struggle of daily life.

But Abdul’s story is different.

A Boy Who Dreams of Education

Abdul has a friend who attends a school near their neighborhood. Whenever his friend goes to school, Abdul feels left behind. So, he spends his days standing outside the school gate, waiting for classes to end so he can play with his friend. Every day, Abdul watches as the children enter and leave the school—longing to be a part of their world.

The teachers at the school began to notice Abdul’s presence, day after day, waiting by the gate. They were touched by his eagerness, but heartbroken by his situation. They knew about the work Core Start Education Foundation does to provide scholarships for underprivileged children in Nigeria, so they reached out to us and shared Abdul’s story.

Abdul’s Desire to Learn

When we met Abdul, it was clear that this young boy had a deep desire to learn. Despite never attending a single class, Abdul had already begun to pick up a few spellings he overheard while standing outside the school gate. He had memorized words and phrases, proving just how much potential he has—if only he could be given the chance to learn.

We were moved by Abdul’s story and knew that we couldn’t let his dream of going to school slip away.
