Meet the wonder campus student who works three jobs and still makes time for her daughter

27-year-old Ntinyari Rutere is not your ordinary campus student. The third-year Mass Communication student at Daystar University works as a cabin crew, taxi driver as well as a clothes vendor to make ends meet.

So how does she balance all that? Every day, Rutere wakes up at 4:30 am and drives to Wilson Airport for her morning shift as a cabin crew. At 1pm, she turns on her Taxify application as most of the passengers request to be taken to the CBD. After that, she assists her sister in delivering purchase from vendors who have ordered clothes from her online cloth business. In the evenings, she is seated in class ready to learn.
