Alexander Musyoki is a graduate of the Catholic University of Eastern Africa(Langata Campus) in Nairobi. His specialization is sociology (major) and political science (minor).
His interest is to pursue masters in gender studies in order to have the required skills to ensure effective advocacy for women. This interest was shaped by the environment where he was brought up. "I was born and brought up within the context of the Akamba tradition where women were viewed as subjects".
The inequalities surrounding women in his village has shaped his strong commitment to gender equality. His dream is to ensure women empowerment through advocacy. This will be achieved through upgrading his research paper which is entitled “Socio-cultural and Economic factors that leads to persistence of poverty among the female headed-household’s: A Case Study of Katangi division in Machakos district” into a book.
"My intention as a graduate of Catholic University is to help the Catholic Church within the AMECEA region to empower women. I am interested to work with Catholic Church organization, because of the Missio scholarship that has enabled me to finish my studies."
"I am a devoted Catholic and will always remain a commited Catholic to set an example to others."
