Around the world education can have life-changing effect on children. When armed men raided a school in Northern Nigeria five years ago, it devastated the lives of hundreds of girls. Those that were taken were released after several terrifying days in captivity, but their school remained closed robbing them of an education and a future. Following a BBC Africa Eye programme featuring the incident, a donor agreed to fund the education of several of the girls. This material looks at how this has changed the lives of Hannutu and Ummu and allowed them to chase their dreams for a better future.
