“The Academy’s distinct hallmarks are the Aga Khan Strands of ethics, cultures, governance and civil society, pluralism and economics for development. These Strands not only add a unique aspect to the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum offered at the Academies, but they also play a significant role in shaping working professionals to become leaders in their field of expertise.
My time at the Aga Khan Academy Mombasa has been an incredible opportunity to learn and grow. The fellowship enabled me to challenge myself and acquire new skills by working with diverse groups within and outside the Academy. I especially enjoy serving as a Diploma Programme mentor, curating virtual fundraising campaigns and organising TEDxYouth@AKAMombasa. Being a part of this unique working model, where I am able to exercise flexibility to try new things and propose creative solutions to challenges, has been a rewarding experience.”
