What are your dreams for the future?
My dreams for the future are to start a big company, help those who are in need and empower people who are not empowered.
Anita Umutoni, 21
What are your dreams for the future?
I want to be a very important woman to my family, my society, my nation and all over the world. I want to have the opportunity to show my potential in what I have learned so far at Akilah. With all I will gain at Akilah, I will help people from my village to innovate and create their own jobs.
