Lucia Kunambi

Lucia Kunambi grew up in Mlali Village, where she learned resilience from the one person who embodied it daily - her mother. After losing her father, Lucia watched her mother work tirelessly to keep her four daughters in school. Despite attending under-resourced schools, Lucia excelled academically and earned a scholarship to SEGA Girls’ Secondary School, where she thrived. She later graduated with top marks and studied Banking and Financial Services at the University of Dar es Salaam with support from a U-GO scholarship.

Now an accountant at Cardinal Rugambwa Hospital in Dar es Salaam, Lucia dreams of becoming a Certified Public Accountant, proving that your beginning does not define your future.
