💥💥💥 From the Streets to Cairo: A Water Seller’s Journey to Al-Azhar

Meet Abdulkadir Hamza, a native of Kano State who currently resides in Anyigba, Kogi State. Known in the neighborhood for selling water, he's not your typical mai ruwa. For him, this is just a temporary hustle, one step on the journey to something greater.

Back in 2023, Abdulkadir applied for admission into Bayero University, Kano, but wasn’t successful. Undeterred, he kept pushing forward, literally and figuratively. This year, his perseverance paid off: he secured a scholarship to study at the prestigious Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt.

With all his documents ready, Abdulkadir is set to travel this month.
From pushing a wheelbarrow to boarding a plane..... his story is one of grit, grace, and God’s timing.
