Meet Anisha Makena, a determined young woman with a dream of breaking barriers in the automotive industry. Anisha joined Moja Tu in 2016, and since then, she has received continuous support that has seen her through primary and secondary school. Today, she is stepping into an exciting new chapter—university life.
Looking back at her school years, Anisha recalls the pride she felt when she was named the most improved student in high school. It was a turning point for her, proving that with determination, consistent effort, and encouragement, she could excel. That moment became her source of motivation, pushing her to work harder and qualify for university. She now stands on the threshold of pursuing her dream course: Automotive Engineering.
Her choice to enter this field is both ambitious and groundbreaking. “Automotive engineering is technical, and it is also a field where women have the chance to stand out and succeed,” Anisha explains. Her passion was sparked by a friend who studied automotive engineering and built a successful career. Seeing that success gave her the confidence to believe she could also thrive. Her dream is to one day establish and manage her own garage—creating opportunities for herself and opening doors for others.
For Anisha, engineering is more than a personal goal; it is a way to contribute meaningfully to society. She hopes to inspire young women to pursue technical careers and to prove that no dream is out of reach, regardless of gender. “I see myself becoming one of the best in the industry. The automotive world is advancing, and I want to be part of the change,” she says with determination.
As she prepares for university life, Anisha is filled with excitement and anticipation. She looks forward to making new friends, experiencing independence, and joining clubs such as football and the Christian Union, which will help her grow both socially and spiritually. For her, this new chapter is not just about academics—it’s also about building lifelong experiences, values, and relationships.
At the heart of Anisha’s motivation is her vision to make a difference. She wants to build a future that benefits her family, uplifts her community, and makes her sponsor and the Moja Tu family proud. “I want to use the opportunity I have been given to be useful to society and to give back in any way I can,” she reflects.
Anisha’s story is one of resilience, hope, and inspiration. From a young girl with a dream to a young woman ready to take on the world of engineering, her journey showcases the power of education and mentorship. With her determination and Moja Tu’s continued support, Anisha is set to not only chase her dreams but also break barriers in the automotive industry.
“I am deeply grateful to Moja Tu and my sponsor for walking with me throughout my journey. Your support has brought me this far, and as I begin my university education, I carry your encouragement with me. Thank you for believing in me and giving me the chance to pursue my dream. I promise to work hard and make you proud.”
