The Yes, We Are Winning Foundation embarked on her annual educational scholarship program, tagged “Project 555” for the 2022 academic session with distribution of study kits to selected Primary and Secondary schools within the Kosofe Local Government Area of Lagos state.
The Project 555 is an Educational Scholarship Program that is recognised and supported by the Lagos SUBEB. It is a scholarship project that targets indigent students in selected public primary and secondary schools in Lagos and other states of the country. The annual event is usually supported by individuals who are passionate about ensuring that education is accessible to all children in line with the Sustainable Development Goal SDG 4.
On the Monday 19th and Tuesday 20th of September, 2022, The Yes, we are Winning Foundation visited a total number of 13 schools and distributed total of 870 notebooks, 80 textbooks to a total of 84 beneficiaries. Furthermore, as our custom, we took to mentoring and counselling the students to be worthy ambassadors by inculcating excellence in their studies.
In the 2022 project, we extended the scholarship to Ibadan by providing over 21 textbooks and 70 exercise books to the young dancers of the Chrysolite Dance Crew. A grateful note from the children, “God still answers prayers’’, if you know how much those books and textbooks cost now, you will say a word of prayer to the foundation that donated it to us….” -The Chrysolite Crew
Indeed, the economic hardship bites hard on everyone, yet we believe that the little you can offer will make a great impact in the lives of needy. We can sure do much more with your little help.

Special thanks to all our sponsors, and to Lagos State SUBEB.

“The hope of becoming a University undergraduate would have been dashed had it been The Yes, We Are Winning Foundation didn’t offer me scholarship.
As we commemorate the international Women’s day I wish to offer My sincere Appreciation to the foundation for paying my tuition fee and other logistic fees without which I would have dropped out of school. I pray the LORD will continue to make ways for the foundation and her sponsors and donors.
Nigeria has the highest number of dropouts in the world
I got to discover this great foundation through a friend. She told me about the foundation because she follows them on Instagram. She told me how they advocate and support the education of many students, orphans, and also provide skills acquisition etc.
So, I went to their page on Instagram, made a contact, and to my surprise I got a reply from them that same day after telling them my story. I really want to use this medium to appreciate the foundation for putting smile on my face, and their great work in the life of indigent students and needy. GOD will never put them to shame.
” I am a woman, I #chosetochallenge.
