Hawa Mustafa is from Benishangul Gumuz Regional State, Assosa Woreda. She never touched a computer until she came to ESCU in May 2013as part of the special pilot education program for women from emerging states. “I completed grade 10 in 2004. I had diploma in agriculture from a TVET in Assosa town after studying for three years. I worked in a rural area near Assosa town for four years, when a notice announcing this education opportunity was posted, I applied, took the entrance examination and passed the exam. And I came to ECSU.
The Ministry of Federal Affairs donated nine computers to ECSU on January 15, 2013. The computers will exclusively be used by women students who came from the four emerging regional states, Afar, Benishagul Gumuz, Gambella and Somali, as part of the joint effort of the ministry and ECSU to build the capacity of women in those states.
