"I am a compassionate leader and impact entrepreneur."
"My lived experience of walking miles to fetch water as a young girl shaped my empathy for those who still face this challenge, especially women and girls in impoverished communities."
"I am committed to creating sustainable solutions that address water access inequities, empowering women to participate in decision-making, and ensuring that clean water becomes a basic right for all."
Water Experience
Growing up, I walked miles with buckets of water balanced on my head, a daily struggle that shaped my understanding of water’s vital role in life. Today, through my work with JB Dondolo, I fight to ensure impoverished women and girls no longer endure the same hardship. I advocate for clean water access, empowering women to lead in water management and decision-making. As an impact entrepreneur, I challenge systemic water inequities by implementing innovative, sustainable solutions that prioritize community needs. My lived experience drives my passion to create gender equity in water use, turning struggles into solutions for a better future.
