When his parent’s finances were reduced and Garius was forced to quit school, he delve into entrepreneurship as a means to provide financial stability for his own education. Despite facing many obstacles over his early years, Garius financed his studies through entrepreneurship endeavors, weaving dry banana leaves to make hats, baskets and similar artisan products for resale. He continued this venture until he earned his bachelor’s degree in medical technology. After receiving his degree, Garius launched his next entrepreneurial venture, Bioced, a medical initiative offering laboratory testing, internal medicine, psychiatry, gynecology and dental care at lowered costs enabling low-income individuals to have access to reliable health care. Bioced has since granted valuable, educational internships to medical students from public and private sector schools. Due to the great success of Bioced and his entrepreneurial experience, Garius alongside six partners, launched the ESNATECH School of Nursing and Medical Technology. Despite struggling with a number of infrastructure and enrollment challenges within the first few years, the enrollment rate has increased and ESNATECH now offers 1000 classes and supports all operational costs. Due to the schools success, a scholarship program has since been implemented to help young students who cannot afford such schooling. Garius developed his entrepreneurship at an early age as a way to finance his own education, however since then, he turned his actions toward contributing to the well-being of humanity. Today, he holds a university degree, owns four different businesses, employs nearly 100 individuals and is a Senior Laboratory Officer, working in HIV testing and providing technical assistance at Partner in Health, GHESKIO Center. Garius’ story is proof that neither age nor financial means can be barriers to achieving ones dreams."».
