Meet Joseph: Confident that Moja Tu has his back

February 7, 2022

Joseph is a 23-year-old pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and History. For him, joining university is a dream come true, especially when he recalls that he was on the brink of dropping out of school just a few years ago.

“I am the youngest of three children. I come from a single-parent family, and I have grown up seeing my mother struggle just to put food on the table and ensure there is a roof over our heads,” he says. He also revealed that his elder brother and sister dropped out of school. “I would have suffered a similar fate had Moja Tu not come to my rescue,” he says with a sigh of relief. The thought of dropping out of school clearly troubles his young mind.

But he also knows Moja Tu is committed to seeing him through university. “I joined Moja Tu while I was still in high school, and it gives me so much joy seeing all the progress and growth I have experienced in the last few years. It is comforting knowing that Moja Tu always has my back. The organization has consistently and unfailingly paid my school fees and provided me with school supplies since I became part of this amazing and beautiful family. There are also programs, such as the mentorship program, curated to ensure that we maximize our potential, and I do not take these for granted. The best I can do to show my gratitude is work hard and be the best version of myself,” he explains.

2022 will be a unique year for Joseph as he is expected to go for his internship.

 “I always wanted to do economics, and I am excited to be moving to the next level of my studies by applying my skills in the real workforce. The course has taught me to be flexible in entrepreneurship and given me a better understanding of economics and how this affects individuals. As a result, I am working towards becoming an expert in this field,” he asserts.

Joseph says that knowing that Moja Tu has his back has been his daily motivation to do well and get out of his comfort zone.
