Impact Stories: Real Lives Transformed Through Education
1
“Before PrimeGate built our school, my daughters had to walk 9 kilometers each way to attend classes in a dilapidated building with no roof. Now they attend a beautiful modern school in our village. My oldest daughter just received a university scholarship—something I never imagined possible for our family.”
— Amina Okonkwo, Parent, PrimeGate Community School, Nigeria
2
“The science laboratory at our PrimeGate school changed everything for me. I could conduct actual experiments instead of just reading about them. That hands-on learning inspired me to pursue engineering. I’m now studying at university on a full scholarship.”
— David Kamau, Former Student, PrimeGate Academy, Kenya
