Support Mrs Maris:
The Maris Edit
Help a dedicated grandmother launch her new remote career and secure her family’s future.
A Courageous Second Act
At a stage in life when society expects you to sit down and retire, Mrs Maris realised she had to do the exact opposite: she had to start over. As the primary caregiver for her young grandson, who faces challenges with his eyesight, getting a traditional job was not an option. She needed a way to earn a living without ever leaving his side. That necessity brought her to Orange Seed Academy.
Mastering A High-Income Skill
Determined to master a high-income skill, she successfully completed our rigorous training programme and is now a trained video editor. She is actively planning to further her training by enrolling in a Graphic Design programme to build on her experience. Her ultimate professional goal is to work full-time as a remote YouTube and Social Media Content Manager for companies and independent creators.
Hurdles and Milestones
The Foundation
Secures her N300k overdue rent to stop the immediate threat of eviction, and purchases a solar inverter system (minimum 1kVA plus panels) so she can work reliably through frequent power outages without disrupting her daily workflow.
Value: ₦1,000,000
The Career Launch
Purchases a brand-new, high-performance video editing laptop with local warranties, along with a 4G/5G internet router and three months of data. This officially makes her ready to take on heavy rendering projects and remote clients.
Reaching ₦2,500,000
The Family Security
Establishes a dedicated medical buffer for her grandson’s eye specialist consultations and prescription needs, while absorbing all payment gateway processing fees to ensure no shortfall in her equipment budget.

Our Commitment to Transparency
Orange VFX and Orange Seed Academy are proud to support “The Maris Edit”. We have donated our studio’s time, mentorship, and production resources to launch this campaign.
Orange VFX is deducting 0% from this campaign.
To ensure absolute transparency and immediate impact, we are utilising Flutterwave’s split payment feature. This means that 100% of every financial donation (minus standard gateway processing fees) is routed automatically and directly into Mrs. Maris’s personal bank account.
How You Can Help
OPTION I (RECOMMENDED)
Financial Contributions
By contributing financially, you allow us to purchase brand-new equipment with valid warranties, whilst directly helping her secure her housing and her grandson’s medical care.
OPTION 2
Equipment Contributions
We gladly welcome corporate sponsors or individuals who prefer to donate actual physical equipment. However, because video editing is highly resource-intensive, any donated laptop must meet strict technical specifications to run industry-standard software (like Premiere Pro) smoothly without crashing.
Required Laptop Specifications
- Processor: Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 (10th Generation / equivalent or newer)
- RAM: 16GB minimum (32GB preferred)
- GPU: Dedicated graphics card (e.g., NVIDIA RTX 3050 or higher) with at least 4GB VRAM
- Storage: 512GB SSD minimum (1TB preferred)
- Note: We are also accepting donations of reliable solar inverters and home internet routers.
