We live in a world where young people think their stories are insignificant and broken, but if we could only look at our stories as powerful things to bring to this world and how unique each fractured piece is, we can use it to change the world. This is my vision as a leader; for everyone to accept everyone and see every person’s significance and input in changing the world.

With almost 74% of my community being illiterate, my project focuses on improving the literacy of all - especially the most affected members of the community such as women, children, and out-of-school girls. This will be a unique and one-of-a-kind hub in North Eastern Kenya that offers a wide range of learning opportunities to children and youth. It is intended to become the largest knowledge centre in the region. This project is implemented through the non-profit I run called The KESHO Alliance Organization.
