In Rotary, it is often said that when you give, it will surely come back in many forms and impact many more people than just the first line recipients.

On Monday Sept 13, 2021, as part of this subject, we present an international program on a dynamic project in Kenya started by an individual who believes that where there is hope, there is progress.

Born in the city of Kisumu, on the shores of Lake Victoria in Kenya, of a three generation business family, she completed university in the UK, has been a childhood educator, accomplished artist, published writer and social entrepreneur who has devoted much of her life  in Nairobi, Kenya, empowering marginalized young women to create opportunities for themselves and their families.

Her program has received many awards from such agencies as the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, Canada’s International Alliance for Women, the Michael Jordan Foundation and more. Her project has been featured on the BBC and helped raise awareness around the globe; and she was a recipient of a world community grant from our club several years ago. 

She is a senior active member of the Kenyan Girl Guides, a trustee of the Kenyan Girl Guides Association and an honorary member of the World Association of Girl Guides.
