South African Student Uses NSFAS Allowance To Build Mom a Dream Home, Picture Raises Questions

• A South African woman revealed on Twitter that she built her mother a house with her NSFAS allowance
• The lady posted a picture that showed the beautiful home situated in what seems like a rural area
• The post gained traction on the platform, and most people could not believe the modest allowance covered the funding of the building project

It seems the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) is changing lives beyond educational needs.

Impactful use of education funds

One woman went on social media to share that she managed to build her mother a house with the funds she received from NSFAS. She posted a picture of the home on her X/Twitter account @TwaRSA26.

She used herself as an example and mentioned that people don't need much money to spruce up their homes.
