The exams are taken at the end of Advanced level (A-Level) studies, marking the completion of secondary education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>AMONG THE<\/strong> successful candidates are exceptional students from refugee settlements who have overcome significant challenges to achieve academic excellence. Here, we celebrate six students supported by FCA whose hard work led to impressive grades in their exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Abdinasir dreams of becoming a civil engineer<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2013, <strong>Abdinasir Salad Muse<\/strong> and his family fled Somalia, passing through Kenya before finding safety in Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Isingiro District, Western Uganda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raised by a single mother in a family of six, life as a refugee was extremely challenging. &#8220;Life is hard in the settlement. My mother can barely take care of all of us and pay school fees,&#8221; Abdinasir shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite these hardships, he remained focused on his education. With support from a partial scholarship from UNHCR, Abdinasir completed his lower secondary examinations known as Ordinary levels (O-Levels) at Nakivale Secondary School in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With support from Finn Church Aid (FCA) and UNHCR, Abdinasir was awarded a full scholarship to pursue Advanced Level studies (A-Level) at Mbarara High School in Mbarara District. Motivated by his interest in science and technology, he chose to specialize in PEM\/ICT (Physics, Economics, Mathematics, and Information Communication Technology), setting the foundation for his dream of becoming a civil engineer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His hard work has paid off, as he achieved an outstanding 19 out of 20 points in the recently released UACE examinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have always wanted to be a civil engineer, so I worked hard to achieve my dream. I hope to pursue a Bachelor of Civil Engineering at the university once given the opportunity,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf it wasn\u2019t for UNHCR and FCA, I wouldn\u2019t have made it this far. They supported us through the hardest times not just with education but also with encouragement and advice,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His message to fellow refugee learners is: \u201cEducation is not easy, but if you keep pushing, all is possible. Never give up, stay focused, and success will come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Pic-two_HD-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"A man poses outside of a house\" class=\"wp-image-153631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Pic-two_HD-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Pic-two_HD-480x360.jpeg 480w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Pic-two_HD-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Pic-two_HD-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Pic-two_HD-237x178.jpeg 237w, https:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Pic-two_HD.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tuyizere Brighton stands proudly at home after receiving his results<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Brighton is focused on achieving his future goals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tuyizere Brighton<\/strong>, 24, was born and raised in Nakivale Refugee Settlement.
