One week.
That’s how long it has been since Mustafa walked across the graduation stage at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) with a Bachelor’s degree in Actuarial Science. 🎓
But this moment has been more than a week in the making.
Just over eight years ago, Mustafa was a young boy growing up in the pastoral, arid county of Isiolo in northern Kenya. He had performed exceptionally well in his primary school exams and carried big dreams but circumstances could easily have written a different story - but a place at Starehe Boys’ Centre under an EFAC scholarship opened a door.
For the next eight years, Mustafa kept going - through high school, university, and every challenge and milestone in between.
And perhaps that is the most beautiful part of Mustafa’s story: the opportunity he received is one he now hopes to pass on.
“Beyond career success, I hope to live out one of the values EFAC has always taught us: giving back. I hope to use what I learn, achieve and become to support others. I’m excited about the future and the opportunity to make an impact along the way.”
Congratulations, Mustafa. Make the world a better place.
