A young woman who works for her mother as a shopkeeper receives a UK Chevening scholarship and travels to England.
After winning the coveted UK Chevening Award to study in the UK, a resolute young woman named Yasmine N. François accomplished an extraordinary feat.
While growing up, Yasmine N. François worked as a shopkeeper for her mother. She recounted how this job encouraged her to start her extraordinary journey.
Her adventure began in her mother’s shop, she claimed, announcing her exceptional performance on LinkedIn. It all began here, in my mother’s small store, where I would work as a shopkeeper when she was away, finishing tasks, studying, and doing my schoolwork. It was one of the locations where I unintentionally started to dream of a better future, which meant that I had to put my education first,” she explained.
“Education would be the key to opening some very important doors for me – which it has,” she said, despite the fact that it may not be the primary element that propels people from poverty to wealth.
Yasmine N. François received a degree in business management with distinction from Edinburgh Napier University in Scotland, UK. She received the Chevening Scholarship Award to obtain her Master’s degree five years after she graduated from college.
She stated on LinkedIn, “I am ecstatic and extremely appreciative of this opportunity and look forward to the lasting influence it will have on my professional and personal growth; it will be a crucial component of my journey of self-discovery and assist me in inspiring others to become.”

She went on to say that she faces difficulties at the same time as her accomplishments. This accomplishment of being named a Chevening Scholar follows two of the most challenging obstacles I have ever faced: the passing of my brother Darrel Francois and cousin Keran Francois. “Father, I need this win,” she said to God.
She remarked that God heard her prayers and that she doesn’t want another setback to try her faith. “Be assured that God hears your prayers, no matter what they may be, and have faith that better times will come whether you are going through a tough moment or not,” she continued.
In addition to thanking God for her blessings, Yasmine N. François expressed gratitude to everyone who has helped her along the way and hoped to continue making them proud.
