I work with the community , Street families, and schools . Most may work entails planning and executing community engagement initiatives and managing partner youth groups.My role involves interacting with the youth and children to inspire, empower and equip them with relevant tools to help improve, change, and grow in their lives. I also educate the community on different social issues empowering them to find solutions and tackle them on their own.

My grail is to transform the lives of young people and equip them to be ambassadors of change in society. I believes in the power of active participation and ownership by the community.
