Maud made history when 14-years old she became the youngest student (male or female) in Zimbabwe to enroll at university.
The young genius was admitted to the University of Zimbabwe where she will study towards a Bachelor of Accountancy Honours Degree. An orphan, Chifamba's mother passed away last December, days after she sat for her final exams, and her father nine years ago when she was five years old. Despite this and abject poverty (her two brothers were unable to pay her fees for regular school), Chifamba home schooled herself and broke academic records earning a four-year scholarship of nearly $10,000.
