For the past decade, Jessica Amartey has been a participant of the INAP, she is currently pursuing a degree in Mining Engineering at the University of Mines and Technology (UMaT). She was enrolled on INCAP at Mepe Holy Christ Community School. Before receiving support, she sometimes had to stay home to help her parents. Everything changed when she was profiled for assistance. Driven by intelligence, determination, and the desire to learn, Jessica benefited not only from academic support but also from Christ-centered mentorship. She gladly shares her experiences:
INCAP helped me become more confident and resilient. I learned to trust my abilities and chase my goals. Now, I’m studying a course that aligns perfectly with my career aspirations.”
She speaks passionately about her field and the challenges she’s overcome.
“I love mineral processing—it’s fascinating to see how raw materials are transformed into valuable products. Calculus and Physics were tough at first, but with help from friends and teaching assistants, I’ve made great progress.”
Jessica’s journey has been one of growth, perseverance, and transformation. Looking ahead, she’s committed to giving back.
“In the next 5 to 10 years, I see myself as a qualified Mining Engineer, possibly working with one of Ghana’s leading mining companies. I also want to mentor young people—especially those interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). I plan to volunteer my time and expertise to inspire students in Mepe and beyond to pursue higher education and careers in engineering.”
