In the next six months, I plan to do an online certificate course in strategic management so that I can boost my career as a software project manager, and gain some more professional skills. Help to Help is the reason to why I am now a software engineer professional. Me and my family could not afford the tuition at Makerere University, and there was no possibility for my university studies to continue. Therefore, I am so grateful for the given opportunity to study in one of the best universities in Africa, and the social impact activities by Help to Help.
It is so fulfilling to witness my dreams come true, the scholarship has challenged me to help fellow females to realise their potential and enable them make their dreams a reality. It is my mission to help young females to start small businesses, and coach them on business management skills, and vocational skills like catering and baking, so that they can be able to afford a decent life. I will start with at least five girls this year, and then I can slowly progress into a large number. My goal will be to have a positive impact on at least fifty girls.
