In Ajegunle, a slum in Lagos, Nigeria, a school that allows parents to pay tuition with plastic waste is facing severe challenges.
Mujanatu Musa, a 40-year-old mother of three, relies on this initiative to educate her children. Living in a one-room apartment made of rusty iron sheets, Musa earns about 2,000 naira ($1.30) a day from hairdressing.
