My will is to be a doctor
Abdikader Abukadar, 24
Somalian refugee
Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya
I’m planning to go back to school, study for the computer package and information. After completing the opportunity for a job is very high, I’ll start working. So in the next five years coming I’ll be maybe the first computer wizard in Kenya. I want to have myself as the first so that the other generation will have an example to follow.
Danson Nkoitoi, 20
computer student
Maasai Mara, Kenya
Definitely I see myself starting a small business because that has been a passion of mine and since I’m younger than eighteen the passion just keeps on piling up so when I’m past that age I’m just going to start a business definitely.
Michelle Mukabana, 16
Student, Crawford school

I really, really look forward to finishing my Masters which I hope to be done by 2020 but then I’m also looking at advancing my career and being able to then specialise even more, be a key decision-maker you know, be a part of a team that will make decisions that will save the world, save humanity, bring change.

The philosophy that I have for this life is that for you to make it you have to have faith, focus, confidence and determination. When you have that then all things will work your way, that’s it.
