The Enugu East Human Capital Development Trust Fund has once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to education by fully covering the West African Examination Council (WAEC) registration fees for all Senior Secondary School 3 (SS3) students in public schools across the Enugu East Local Government Area. A total of 1,700 students have benefited from this initiative, with a total financial commitment of ₦58,650,000.
This laudable intervention aims to ease the financial burden on parents, encourage students to complete their secondary education, and promote human capital development across Enugu East. The fund covered WAEC fees at 13 public secondary schools, ensuring that every eligible student had the opportunity to sit for this crucial examination without financial constraints.
We want to ensure that every child in Enugu East attains at least Secondary School education.
Empowering our generations through education, creating a sustainable society.

Why This Initiative Matters
Education is a critical tool for societal advancement, yet many students from underprivileged backgrounds are often unable to afford their WAEC registration fees, leading to high dropout rates and limited future opportunities. By ensuring that every SS3 student in public schools within Enugu East LGA is able to take their exams, this initiative is breaking down barriers to academic success and laying the foundation for a brighter future.
A Call to Action: Support the Future of Our Youth
The Enugu East Human Capital Development Trust Fund cannot achieve this noble goal alone. While this year’s sponsorship has positively impacted 1,700 students, thousands more students will require similar support in the coming years. We invite philanthropic individuals, corporate organizations, NGOs, and government agencies to partner with us in ensuring that no child is left behind due to financial limitations.
Your donation can help sustain and expand this program, allowing us to reach even more students and continue fostering academic excellence in Enugu East. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us closer to a future where education is truly accessible to all.
