"I am a proud African-born woman."

"My lived experience walking miles to collect water has resulted in me becoming a voice for women."

"I am committed to making sure that by 2030, more women and girls have e access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene so they get out of poverty and attain career skills and education."

Water Experience

My lived experience has been growing up in Africa and walking miles to fetch water in arid dry region and often injuring my neck from the heavy water bucket. I never thought I would grow up and become a Philanthropist passionate about women and girls issues and getting them out of poverty through provision of water with my nonprofit. As a water advocate, I challenge water issues by engaging others through training, internships, and events which I offer to promote a greater involvement.
