Musibikha Winnie: A Hungerford Success Story

In her primary school leaving exams, local Musibikha Winnie earned the lowest possible passing score to continue into secondary school, placing her at the very bottom of Division 3. Recognizing her determination and potential, her primary school headteacher personally recommended her to Headteacher Bwayo Moses for the Hungerford Scholarship so she could benefit from its supportive boarding program.

Living on campus gave Winnie the stability to focus fully on her education, surrounded by the comradery of fellow boarding students who encouraged and motivated one another. She gained access to structured routines, before- and after-class tutoring, and mentorship from older Hungerford scholars. Holiday programs held between school terms ensured continuous learning and kept her momentum strong. With this network of support, Winnie grew in confidence and discipline, ultimately surpassing every expectation by earning a Division 1 score on her secondary school O-level UCE exams.

In fact, Winnie is now realizing her dream as she studies hard during her first semester at University, earning her Bachelor of Education in Agriculture.

Her journey is a powerful example of how the education, guidance, and nurturing school community provided through the Hungerford Scholarship can transform a student’s future.
