PRISCILLA’S BIOGRAPHY

- Advertisement -

Education is the key to success and the only way to escape the cycle of poverty. I am privileged to have received the gift of a quality education through the Zawadi Africa Education Fund: which provides scholarships for girls, to prepare the next generation of Africaโ€™s women leaders. I am currently a senior majoring in Economics & Finance at Benedict College (South Carolina), and also studied abroad at the University of Zululand (South Africa) in fall 2010. I am passionate about reducing poverty in Kenya by making educational facilities accessible to disadvantaged children and young adults.

PLATFORM

Improve the quality and accessibility of education to children in remote parts of Kenya by providing basic needs and facilities in selected schools and offering informal learning programs to provide basic life skills.

FIVE YEAR ASPIRATIONS

In five years, I plan to have acquired a masterโ€™s degree and started a career in Risk Management. I also expect to furtherย  impact the quality of education in Kenyaย  by running a foundation thatย  develops talents into careers and offers basic education on entrepreneurship and information technology to empower the youth.
