Bursting with energy in their white and green uniforms,
00:00:03
the students at Ndabo Primary School in northern Nigeria
00:00:07
are having a great time in their physical education class.
00:00:11
Across the street, 12-year-old Jamila is going door to door,
00:00:17
selling vegetables.
00:00:22
It has been four years since she quit school.
00:00:24
I was in Ndabo Primary School,
00:00:29
but I dropped out in 2003 when I was in class two.
00:00:33
I dropped out because I didn't have a school uniform.
00:00:37
My mother wanted me to work to make some money
00:00:40
so that hopefully one day we can afford the uniform again.
00:00:43
Poverty has forced many girls like Jamila
00:00:47
to leave their education behind in northern Nigeria,
00:00:51
a country where 40% of school-aged children are not in school.
00:00:55
Like Jamila, 10-year-old Wasila remembers the shock
00:01:02
when her parents asked her to drop out a year ago.
00:01:06
My parents asked me to drop out and work so that I can support them.
00:01:11
I was not happy and didn't like it,
00:01:18
so much so that I almost felt I had a fever.
00:01:20
Fortunately for Wasila, she didn't miss out on school for too long.
00:01:25
With the $50 million funding provided by the U.K.,
00:01:30
free learning materials have been distributed by UNICEF
00:01:34
in more than 700 schools throughout northern Nigeria,
00:01:38
lifting a big financial burden for many families.
00:01:42
While she was out of school,
00:01:46
I heard that her school had gotten instruction materials,
00:01:48
including books and school bags, and that attracted my attention.
00:01:51
I decided to send her back to school
00:01:55
believing that she would get all of these items with no cost to me.
00:01:57
Through the Girls' Education Project,
00:02:02
water pumps are being installed in many schools
00:02:05
as well as separate latrines for boys and girls.
00:02:09
Teachers also benefit receiving extra training
00:02:13
to help them provide better education for the children.
00:02:16
Wasila studies hard and has become the top student in her class.
00:02:23
She takes her education seriously,
00:02:28
knowing fully that there are still many girls in Nigeria
00:02:31
who couldn't afford to give their dreams a second chance.
00:02:35
In Bakure, northern Nigeria,
00:02:41
this is Kunle reporting for UNICEF Television.
