Growing up in a remote village has not stopped Dr Kazemo Muhenje from achieving her dreams. Originally from Okangwati, north of Opuwo, she pursued dentistry at the University of Namibia, where she completed an Honours degree in Microbiology and Biochemistry and later in Moscow, Russia, on a scholarship. Now serving at Opuwo District Hospital, Muhenje says returning to Kunene allows her to give back to her community, where she understands the challenges people face and can communicate with them in their own language. She attributes her achievement to determination and her parents, who, despite not having formal education, prioritised their children's schooling. Muhenje is encouraging children, particularly those from marginalised communities, to believe in their abilities, while urging parents to support and nurture their children's ambitions. She says being a Himba child should never limit one's dreams, as anything is possible through determination and education.
