Bio
Am passionate about social entrepreneurship and community development, dedicated to creating sustainable solutions for underprivileged individuals. As the Founder of Dare to Dream Africa, Kenya Youth Delegate on the Abolition of the Death Penalty, and Programs Director at PaaMoja Initiative, I have spearheaded numerous programs designed to advocate for children, women, and youth, all to foster sustainable living and long-term impact.
Born in rural Kenya and raised in Mathare Slums, Kenya’s second-largest informal settlement, have grew up witnessing both the struggles and resilience of my communities. My upbringing gave me a deep understanding of the challenges faced by my people in low-income areas, this has shaped my commitment to giving back and driving positive change after much support and collaboration from some of the community organizations. I am proudly identified as “Made by the Communities”, a reflection of my deep-rooted connection to the communities that I was raised in.
Beyond being an educator, I envision a future where poverty is eradicated and hope is restored to those in slums and rural areas. my dream is to shift mindsets, especially young, underprivileged ladies, empower individuals, and create pathways for sustainable growth and living. With a heart for service and an eye for innovation, i continue to work toward transforming communities and inspiring others to do the same.
In my free time, i enjoy spending time with friends, watching movies, cycling, and exploring new places. These moments of relaxation and adventure fuel my creativity and passion for life, reinforcing my belief that everyone, regardless of background, deserves a chance to dream and thrive.
