SEGA is the Solution: Rose’s Story

2023 marks the 15th Anniversary of Nurturing Minds and SEGA! One of the ways we are celebrating this important milestone is through a monthly blog series titled “SEGA is the Solution”.

Young girls are most heavily impacted by lack of education, poverty and climate change. A striking body of evidence demonstrates that organizations like Nurturing Minds and SEGA are the solution to break the cycle of poverty, create prosperity and combat climate change. Each month we will be spotlighting one of SEGA’s graduates so you can see the impact that SEGA’s holistic approach to education has had on their lives.

Rose, SEGA
Class of 2016

“I feel as though I am a good ambassador for SEGA. They changed my life and made me realize I had more to offer my community. ”

After Rose graduated from SEGA in 2016, SEGA's Continuing Education Program allowed her the opportunity to pursue her dreams by furthering her education.

What is your education and employment status?

I completed A-levels at Ifunda Tech High School in 2019. After that I enrolled at Ruaha University College, where I received a certificate in Environmental Science in 2020 and a diploma in Environmental Health Sciences in 2022. While I look for a job, I am a mentor for SEGA's Modern Girl Program.

How did you think about studying Environmental Health Sciences? Where did that dream come from?

I chose to study Environmental Health Sciences because health is fundamental for human development. Also, I like the idea of working toward a safer environment so people can eat cleaner food. Though before I knew only a few things, now I am happy because I know a lot about interesting subjects!

How was life before SEGA and how is life now?

Before SEGA, I had no direction about my education. I think I was lost. Now, I feel as though I am a good ambassador for SEGA. They changed my life and made me realize I had more to offer my community.
