Everyday People: This IPMC student helps his single mother sell to fund his education

It's rare to see a young Ghanaian boy balancing both education and business, especially selling in the market.

This scenario might even be considered a 'taboo', but not for Nana Yaw, an IPMC student, who helps his single mother sell groceries at Kaneshie Market in Accra.

Nana Yaw's education and daily life are funded through his efforts in the market, supporting his mother and paying for his schooling.

After his father abandoned the family to remarry, Nana Yaw stepped up to take over his mother's business, accompanying her to the market to sell.
