I would like to express my deepest and most profound gratitude for the incredible support I have received from the Upstream Training Trust. Your generosity and commitment have been extraordinary, going far beyond the call of duty. Because of your unwavering support, I have successfully completed my Honours degree in Geology, MSc in Geology, and M.Phil. in Environmental Management. These achievements would not have been possible without your support, given in both professional and personal capacity.

I am especially moved by the fact that the UTT team looked beyond my age  and never allowed it to be a barrier. Instead, you chose to believe in my potential, supporting my career and personal development endeavors without hesitation. Your confidence in me has allowed me to explore multiple facets of my field, enhancing my knowledge and skills and opening doors to new professional opportunities.

Thank you for empowering and enabling me to pursue my academic and career goals. I am truly grateful for the profound difference your support has made in my life.
