In the classroom, Protus has demonstrated great knowledge and promise in Sciences, Mathematics and Economics. He was given an opportunity to intern at Equity Bank-Kenya as a result of his extraordinary performance where he developed skills in economics, finance and client relations in the work environment. As a result, Protus is deeply passionate about pursuing studies in economics. He was also an active participant in Freedom From Hunger Walk where he had the opportunity to fight chronic hunger in Kenya. He mentored high school graduates at Equity African Leaders Program (EALP) before coming to UBC. It is Protus’ belief that underprivileged regions in Kenya do not lack potential, but rather people. He hopes to study micro-finance in order to devise long lasting solutions to poverty. He believes in using men and women to their fullest potential and reducing the trepidation and uncertainties of cash management and small businesses. He is also excited about the prospect of collaboration and recognizes the need for camaraderie and teamwork in a project like this.
