Maisha ya awali

[hariri | hariri chanzo]

Segenet Kelemu alizaliwa katika mji wa Finote Selam nchini Ethiopia . [1] [2] Segenet, ingawa alikuwa na wenye walimu wenye changamoto na wapinzani, alionyesha kujitawala na, zaidi ya yote, alikuwa na uwezo wa kitaaluma. Alikuwa na bahati ya kuwa na walimu waliotambua na kukuza uwezo wake mkubwa alionao.

Kama watoto wengine wengi katika kijiji chake, Segenet alitarajiwa kusaidia katika kazi za kilimo. Zaidi ya hayo, tangu umri mdogo, alionyesha bidii kali ya uwajibikaji, na matokeo yake, mama yake alimpa jukumu la kuuza mazao ya shambani sokoni; akiwa na uhakika kwamba angeuza kwa bei nzuri zaidi na kuweka pesa salama. Hivyo, Kelemu alijifunza ukweli mgumu kuhusu kilimo: kazi yake ya kupinda mgongo hasa kwa wanawake, pamoja na changamoto za uzalishaji, ambazo ziliwaweka watu wa jamii yake katika mapambano ya mara kwa mara ili kukidhi mahitaji yao ya chini ya chakula ya kaya; lakini kati ya yote, uwezo wa sekta hiyo ya kilimo. Matokeo yake, alihisi wito wa kutafuta suluhisho la vikwazo vya kilimo. Kwa hivyo, ingawa alikuwa mwanafunzi wa daraja la juu, Segenet aliamua kujitolea katika sayansi na kilimo. [3]
