Story of Impact:
Orphan to Duke Graduate

Millions of children worldwide grow up without access to electricity, clean water, or quality education. Revo was one of them.

Through Make A Difference Now’s scholarship program, Revo received the support and opportunity he needed to succeed. With determination and hard work, he earned a full scholarship to Duke University, launched his career at Thomson Reuters, and completed a master’s degree at Boston College.

Today, Revo is a data scientist, employed, independent, and giving back to his community in Tanzania.
