“WISE transformed my life through education and gave me an opportunity to build a meaningful career.”

Being part of WISE Zambia and working with Kaoma WISE Trust means a great deal to me.

My journey with WISE began when the organization supported my education from secondary school through to tertiary level. After completing my studies, WISE continued to guide and support me by connecting me to its sister organization, Kaoma WISE Trust, where I now serve as an Administrative Assistant.

Through this opportunity, I have developed valuable professional skills in narrative and financial report writing, proposal development, community engagement, and working with people from diverse backgrounds. I have also continued to participate in staff activities and programmes organised by WISE Zambia, strengthening my connection to the wider WISE family.

Today, I am proud to serve as a role model for the learners following in my footsteps. This responsibility means a great deal to me. By giving back, sharing my experience, and supporting others, I believe I am contributing to the continued growth and strength of the organization that helped shape my future.

I am deeply grateful to WISE Zambia and Kaoma WISE Trust for believing in my potential and empowering me to become the person and professional I am today.
