SEGA is the Solution: Stella’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.

“I would like to thank the SEGA team for supporting me with my studies because I don't think I could be here without their support and many lessons.”
After Stella graduated from SEGA in 2019, SEGA's Continuing Education Program allowed her the opportunity to pursue her dreams by furthering her education.
What is your education status?
I received Division 2 on my Form 4 exams and I am currently studying at Kondoa Nursing College. I am getting my certificate in Nursing and Midwifery.
How did you think about studying Nursing and Midwifery? Where did that dream come from?
I wanted to become a doctor or a nurse. My dreams started when I was young because I loved science, so I decided to challenge myself in that way. Both careers are all about helping people's lives!
How was life before SEGA and how is life now?
I wasnt sure I would have been able to finish primary or secondary school due to a lack of money and other needs. However, due to the support that I got, I was finally able to get a good education - even through my certificate program.
I would like to thank the SEGA team for supporting me with my studies becuase I don't think I could be here without their support and many lessons. I promise you I will graduate and become the best nurse ever!
