Message

At Bible Translation and Literacy (BTL E.A), I lead indigenous language development initiatives supporting literacy and integration into Kenya's CBC framework. I coordinated literacy materials, including primers, charts, and short stories, and facilitated workshops to validate standardized writing systems.

Earlier at BTL E.A, I conducted language surveys and orthographic research, documented grammar, and designed instructional materials for indigenous language learners. I also collaborated with educators and curriculum developers to align materials with structured learning outcomes.

I established a community-approved orthography that supports formal education integration and ongoing literacy material development. I also contributed to a structured FLEx-based lexical database and strengthened translation quality assurance processes.
