I started working with Teach For Kenya in Mukuru kwa Njenga slums. During this period I found out that the illitracy levels of learners was very low, I started a literacy club that helped learners read and write and now 80% of learners now in grade 3 know how to read and write. In this project I worked with organizations such as world readers, wakelet and e-kitabu app where we incorporated digital reading.

In the same school, majority of girls were loosing their voices due to gender based violence, and i initiated capacity building training for teachers, mentorship training on reporting mechanism for girls to help end the vice.
