A remarkable 12-year-old girl receives a scholarship grant of over N500K for using her self-made business to feed other kids.
Zita Ejike, a remarkable 12-year-old Nigerian girl, has been awarded a scholarship worth over 500,000 Nigerian Naira. She uses her own business to provide food for schoolchildren.
At the age of nine, Zita began working to guarantee that no homeless kid goes hungry in 2020. She later founded a business called ZEE SHEA HUB after becoming interested in the creation of natural skin and hair care products.
As this has always been her goal, she utilizes the money from her shea butter sales to feed and clothe the less fortunate, keeping only what she needs to restock.
