My dream since childhood have always been to be a woman who helps children and girls in her community, country, Africa and the world at large.

I face a lot of challenges getting people that share the same dream and commitment to work with.

I am happy seeing a child or girl smile because of me...hearing phrases like “with you I am who I am today”..

Have always dreamt of being a Country director of one of the international NGOs in Africa
