As a PASS USA Global Student Ambassador and Female Scholars Coordinator in South Sudan, she lives the PASS mission every day - helping South Sudanese girls discover their voice, step into leadership, and build a better future for those around them.

Khamisa Jowang Kaka
Nkumba University - Uganda
When Khamisa finished Senior High, her family gave her a choice that was hardly a choice at all - get married, or leave home. She chose education. As a PASS USA Global Student Ambassador and student at Nkumba University in Uganda, Khamisa is now pursuing a degree in International Diplomacy Management, a long way from the refugee camp. We captured her full story of sheer resilience below!
Basamat Salah Hussein
Victoria University - Uganda
For Basmat, education has never been just about earning a degree, it is a lifeline for her entire family back in war torn South Sudan. Her life’s promise is that her siblings would not face the same struggles she did as a refugee. PASS USA gave her the path to keep that promise. Read her full inspiring story below!
Flora Gain
Cambridge Universal College - Kenya
Flora's dream of becoming a nutritionist almost never made it past financial hardship. As a PASS USA Scholarship Recipient and a Global Student Ambassador, timely investment in Flora, providing full ride tuition scholarship and wraparound support gave her the stability to focus on what she was always capable of. Since then, her grades have improved, her confidence has grown, and her future looks clearer than ever. We captured her full story of resilience and transformation below!
Agnes Uyu Martin
South Sudan, University of Juba.
For Agnes, healing a community begins with the courage to listen. As a PASS USA Student Ambassador studying Peace and Justice at the Catholic University of South Sudan, she lives the PASS mission every day - using education to nurture dialogue, prevent violence, and rebuild trust within her community.

Ngachul Joseph
Mount Kenya University - Kenya
When Ngachul completed form four, two years passed with no way forward - no money, no guide, only the quiet ache of dreams put on hold. Raised in Kakuma refugee camp by a single mother who gave everything she had, Joseph refused to let hardship become her whole story. As a PASS USA Global Student Ambassador now pursuing a Diploma in Law, she is turning years of waiting into a future she once only dared to imagine. We captured her full story of resilience and hope below!
