Four years ago, Turning Point were about to register Boniface for secondary school. He had been with us since 2004, and had scored well in his final primary school exams. But his mum had other ideas. She didn't want him going to the school we used, and instead had found a school much further away that she wanted him to go to. We sat and discussed the issues with her, how she'd have to shoulder the extra costs herself, not insignificant, but she was adamant. We admired her determination to get the best for her son, and agreed with her request.
So it is with great delight that we are thrilled to announce that Boniface has scored an overall grade A in his secondary school final exams. It is an amazing achievement and will provide him with many opportunities in the future. For one, he will definitely go to university, where he hopes to study International Relations, and because he scored so high he will qualify for a government-funded loan to cover his studies.
It will also mark him out when it comes to interviewing for jobs, as not many achieve a grade A. Well done Boniface, and well done to his mum for her belief in him.
Boniface would not have been able to receive his education without the support of people like you, so on his behalf we at Turning Point say thank you. Your support really does provide children like Boniface the opportunities to break free from the poverty they have grown up in.
