We are so excited to share Robinah’s story with you as she finishes her first year in our University Leadership Program!
Robinah grew up in a rural village, where girls were not given the same opportunities as boys. After completing junior high school, her parents thought she had been educated enough and pressured her to get married. But Robinah wanted more for her future. She wanted to graduate, not just from high school, but also university. She dreamed of a career in finance. She dreamed of encouraging her family and her society to give girls the same value as boys. She chose to leave home and move to Kigali to live with an aunt so that she could pursue her dreams. Now, as a These Numbers Have Faces scholar, she’s doing just that!
