Coastweek– Samara a 17-year-old student at the Aga Khan Academy, Mombasa shared with us a truly inspiring story, a dream of hers – ‘Tujenge Shule, Educating the Leaders of Tomorrow’, that she has been working towards for the past four years. She hopes to build a Secondary School in honor of her late grandfather Amirali Visram who she describes as her role model.

Having lived in Kikambala all her life, she feels that it is her responsibility to help elevate the socio-economic standards of the residents of the village.

Samara’s family has spearheaded community service projects for over 40 years.

She mentions that this project is all as a result of her family’s and her faith’s constant teachings of giving back to challenged members of society.

After attending Suzanne Mubarak’s ‘End Human Trafficking Conference’ in Luxor, Egypt (2010), she learnt that education was one of the best avenues in fighting human trafficking and poverty.
