Emmanuel Okenye Founds School in his Native Nigeria

Public school is not free in Nigeria. Lee University alum Emmanuel Okenye experienced this firsthand while growing up in the town of Ikorodu, and he often had to skip meals in order to pay for his education. Years later, in an effort to offer better education and health care to children in Nigeria, Okenye started the nonprofit Child Scholars shortly after he graduated from Lee.
