Popular Hollywood actor, David Oyelowo has funded the education of five Nigerian girls who survived the Boko Haram insurgency in the north-east.
The Hollywood actor made the statement of the scholarship in a post on his Instagram page.
He wrote: “Proud to present the glorious recipients of the David Oyelowo Leadership Scholarship. They survived terror at the hands of Boko Haram, now the journey toward their true destiny has begun. Learn more at @geancofdn”.
The David Oyelowo Leadership Scholarship programme, which the girls are beneficiaries of, is organized in collaboration with the Geanco Foundation.
Geanco, a non-governmental organisation, said the insurgency kept one of the girls out of school for three years, stressing that she recently won an essay contest.
“Our @davidoyelowo Leadership Scholars, right before heading back to school after their winter break. Such bright colors and smiles!! The inspirational young lady in purple on the far left just won a regional essay contest,” the Instagram post read.
“Boko Haram kept her out of school for three years, but she is roaring back and excelling after only just a year and a half at her new school. So, so, so proud.”
