Jackson Karisa Fagio

I am the founder of an NGO - Niache Nikomae doing its activities in Kilifi County. We focus on Teenagers helping them to remain focused on their studies by empowering them to avoid activities that would lead to Teenage Pregnancy and drug abuse. This would increase their chances of succeeding in academic matters as they grow into responsible adults with high moral values hence help break the poverty cycle.  We have been doing this together with Pwani University students close to 10 years in churches and schools. I am passionate about the youth knowing well that many engage in bad activities through peer pressure only to learn later that they have ruined their future. I am a biochemist with vast knowledge in pharmaceutical marketing making me well positioned to handle reproductive issues when talking to the youth.

I have been engaged with youth motivational speaking for close to 10 years going from school to school including the universities talking to the youth on matters education and life in general. Using my own example as one who has come from a humble background by through hardworking and determination, I managed to see myself raise to become a degree holder and work with multinational organisations for many years. I am a living example to the youth which makes it very easy for them to use me as a role model. My focus is to help the youth avoid engaging in activities that would lead to Teenage pregnancy and/or drug abuse. By empowering them, they run away from negative peer influence which could introduce them to some activities that end up ruining their future. This helps them grow holistically as responsible, successful and moral upright adults.

A trained Biochemist with a strong bias in marketing. Very strong in Reproductive health hence quite easy to elaborate biological changes affecting the youth during development
