Maud had quite a tough childhood and lost her dad at the age of five, with her mom sadly battling cancer, leaving her and her younger brother in the care of a step-sibling in 2003, TechZim wrote.

It was also a struggle for the intelligent youngster to get into high school, but instead of giving up, she studied on her own and obtained her Ordinary Level (O Levels) qualification in just two years, NTV Uganda reported.

According to NTV Uganda, it was Maud’s lifelong dream to be an accountant and she refused to give up, despite the challenges she faced:

“After Grade 7 there was no school for me to go to, the normal thing in our community was getting married. I did not like my mother`s marriage that is one of the things that motivated me to work hard."
