Growing up in Nairobi, Ahmed stepped out of his comfort zone and seized a range of opportunities available at a United World College, after successfully applying to join the UWC Adriatic in Italy in 2015. During his time in Nairobi, he was a part of various extra-curricular activities taking up roles such as the chair for the East African MUN for four years, school prefect, and a scout leader and St. John’s Ambulance First Aider.
Ahmed is highly ambitious and motivated, and dreams of building a better Kenya. Concerned about corruption and poor leadership in his country, he hopes his education at UBC will allow him to gain skills to improve Kenya and lead the Kenyan people. With his degree in Economics, he specifically hopes to understand the economic situation in Kenya, and to become more aware of how the world works.
