Nderu through her Instagram stories shared the news with her fans saying she had been consistently applying for scholarships and was surprised when she was accepted for software engineering.
“So guys… I think I got myself back in school fully paid… and I’m actually scared of doing this insta story in case they see it and they realize they said yes then they are like oooh it was you? no,” she said.
Nderu is passionate about social impact projects, particularly those that involve women and youth empowerment, digital learning, and the environment.
