What do you do when everything goes wrong, when you had a goal in mind and realize you have gone in the opposite direction? Oghenerukeme Asagba takes us through the lessons she learned while developing her non-profit oganization, CAIN.  Oghenerukeme Asagba was born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria. She obtained her Bachelor's degree from Cornell University and a Masters in Medical Physiology from Case Western Reserve University. Thus far, Ruke has conducted research on the feasibility of implementing the National Health Research Act of Zambia and worked on a clinical study aimed at improving the quality of life of breast cancer survivors through exercise. She currently serves as the International Director of Ligandcorp, a medical start-up company aimed at developing and promoting innovative medical devices that will introduce lasting health solutions in Africa and other developing nations. Her passion for education and healthcare is intense, which is why at the age of 21 she founded Catering to Africans In Need (CAIN), a non-profit organization aimed at improving the quality of education and healthcare received by the less privileged in impoverished African societies. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
