Bior

Bior was born in South Sudan during the second phase of the Sudanese civil war. At the

age of 10, he arrived in Kenya as a refugee, leaving his family behind. Bior completed

his primary and secondary education in Kenya, emerging as the best male student

in his district during the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) national

examinations.

This performance won him a spot in the Equity Leaders Program, where he joined

the Equity Group Foundation in Nairobi, Kenya. He was subsequently selected for the

Mastercard Foundation Scholarship Program at McGill University in Canada.

Bior holds a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and currently works as a commercial banker

in Montreal, Canada. He is passionate about financial inclusion, access to education, and

food security, particularly for refugees and marginalized communities in Sub-Saharan

Africa. He mentors high school and university students in Canada and Kenya.

Bior is a member of the Youth Advisory Committee on the DREEM Project by WUSC.

In addition, he is a member of the Board of Directors of INKOMOKO, an organization

championing financial inclusion for refugees and marginalized communities across East

and Central Africa.
