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. Including me, the women who came from Benishangul Gumuz Regional State are fifteen. First, I was totally confused as everything, including the form I was given to fill, was new to me. The first few days were challenging.”
