Kenya

I am a gender and diversity specialist passionate about gender equality, youth empowerment, peacebuilding, and resource mobilizing for social change. I am a Co-founder of Teriki Foundati, a Community-Based Organization that aims to promote peace, gender equality and education in the Kerio Valley and Pastoralists communities of Kenya. I have extensive experience in budget and policy advocacy, working towards ending Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV), Youth mentorship, training on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), and working in marginalized Arid Pastoral communities. Additionally, I serves as an advisory board member in several CSOs that promote the end to SGBV and period Poverty, these CSOs includes Ugali Youth Organization, Maisha Girls Safe House, and Pads 4 Education. As a Community Leader, I currently work as the Community Engagement Specialist, Global Hub at Politics4Her, advocating for the inclusive participation of young women and girls in politics, civil society, and decision-making processes and previously I was selected for the Community Leaders in Africa Program where I worked with a NGO in resource mobilizing for youth education and economic empowerment. I am looking for opportunities to work towards ending extreme global poverty through the intersectionality of promoting peace, gender equality and environmental justice, where I can share my skills and passion as well as gain more experience for professional development.
