Husna

Husna Mussa Mbuge was born on 18 December 2004, growing up into a close-knit, hardworking family in Jambiani. Her father, Mussa Mbuge Mussa, is a fisherman, and her mother, Maryam Kassim Khatib, is a skilled tailor. Together, they have raised eight children, instilling values of resilience, perseverance, and a strong work ethic. Despite their efforts, the family's limited financial means have made it challenging to provide the best educational opportunities for all their children. Husna is deeply motivated to pursue her education and support her family’s future, largely thanks to the assistance provided by the Child Development Funds (CDF) scholarship program.
Husna’s commitment to her studies has been unwavering. She began her education journey in nursery school in 2009, continued through Jambiani Primary School from 2012 to 2017, and entered Jambiani Secondary School in 2018. Driven to excel, she worked tirelessly, encouraged by teachers and the tutoring programs from CDF that inspired her to aim high and achieve her dreams. In 2021 she completed secondary school at Jambiani Secondary School with Division 2. This success earned her the opportunity to join advanced-level education at Dr. John Pombe Joseph Magufuli Secondary School, studying the CBG combination (Chemistry, Biology, and Geography). Thanks to the CDF, Husna was able to afford her school fees, study materials, and the necessary resources to excel at this level. In 2023 she graduated with Division 2.
Husna has now (October 2024) taken the next step toward her goals and has been accepted to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Information Technology at Zanzibar University. This degree aligns with her vision of building a successful career in the growing field of information technology, which she believes will allow her to bring meaningful contributions to her community. Her first semester has just begun, and she is deeply grateful for the support she has received through the CDF, which has been instrumental in helping her reach this stage. Husna is inspired by the belief that education is the key to unlocking a world of opportunities. She is committed to making the most of this chance to transform her life and thanks CDF for the continued support to achieve her professional dreams.
