My story of success revolves around educating the entire village through a poultry project! I work in the rural villages around the lake where HIV/Aids prevalence percentage is high. The rates of vulnerability increased day and night,with children dropping out of school,ending up in abusing drugs, child labour and, or even being abused sexually. Unwanted teenage pregnancy became rampant, and so we saw a need to establish a center to provide social/physical security and knowledge to the children as well as providing Adults Education program to the illiterate older people. My workshops have made this a tremendous success! 

I am about 5.5 ft, slim in body and dark in complexion. I come from a rich culture of Luo community living around the Lake Victoria, a fifth born in a family of eight. I speak luo dialect, Kiswahili, English and a little French. 
I work in the rural communities on project planning, establishment and management. Currently, I work with Challenge Africa in Partnership with Access Aid Mission on Community Driven Self-Sustainable Community Development Initiatives.
As well, I am a student taking under-graduate course at Maseno University on BA Sociology and Anthropology, and IT.
