Absit was created from lived experience and a deep commitment to helping students stay in school.
Born and raised in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, I grew up in a strong community that shaped my leadership skills and passion for service.
I later moved to the United States to pursue a degree in Computer Science, where my college journey challenged me in ways I never expected.
Navigating academic pressure, personal hardship, and the demands of building a future required resilience, consistency, and growth.
Through perseverance and support, I continued forward and am now nearing the completion of my degree.
Because of these experiences, and alongside an ambitious friend who faced a similar college journey, I founded Absit to create a supportive
community that serves college students and provides the resources they need when they need them most.
Born and raised in Johannesburg, South Africa, I moved to the United States at the age of 19 to pursue an associate degree
in Software Development at Minneapolis College. Throughout my time in college, I felt a strong desire to stay connected to my
community, whether through volunteering with nonprofit organizations or supporting initiatives that created meaningful change.
I knew I wanted to leave a lasting impact beyond myself.
During my journey, I was fortunate to meet inspiring women whose resilience, generosity, and commitment to service deeply influenced me.
Their support, along with my own lived experiences navigating college through challenging seasons, led me to create Absit, a foundation
rooted in empathy, community, and the belief that students deserve support during the moments that matter most.
