Two Girls Excel in the Basic Education Certificate Exam

Dear Project Supporters,

Your support of girls' education is greatly appreciated. Girls who completed their 3rd year of Junior Secondary School for the 2020-2021 school year took a required exam called the Basic Education Certificate Exam (BECE) in order to move on to Senior Secondary School for this current school year. The two girls that received the best scores on their BECE were awarded prizes. The two girls with the highest scores were Koterah who came first and Joy who came second.

Both Koterah and Joy were happy to receive the prizes and recorded a video saying-

Hello, my name is Koterah. I am a beneficiary of Develop Africa. I took the first position in my school for the BECE. I want to say a very big thank you for the financial support you gave to me. I promise to make you guys proud.

Hello, my name is Joy, I am one of the beneficiaries of Develop Africa. I took my BECE examination and I got an aggregate of 18. And this is the prize that I received from Develop Africa, I am so happy, very very happy.

Your support is changing girls' lives; every dollar donated makes a difference, but making a monthly donation is the most effective way to help girls get their education.

If you are not yet a recurring donor, we warmly invite you to consider setting up a recurring donation. Even a few dollars a month will go a long way.

Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project. If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.

Warm regards,

Amy and the Develop Africa team
