Dedicated mentor specializing in adolescent health and youth development.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate mentor with extensive experience in adolescent and young people programs, particularly in health and development. Currently, I work with the UNTOLD Program, where I facilitate mentorship and support for young individuals aged 15-24. My role involves mobilizing participants, conducting adherence assessments, and ensuring they access necessary health services.
Throughout my career, I have been involved in various initiatives, including the USAID TUMIKIA MTOTO project, where I collect data on vulnerable adolescent girls and young women. My commitment to empowering youth is evident in my work with the Dreams Tumikia Mtoto Program, where I ensure that young women receive essential interventions and support. I have also volunteered with organizations like Boxgirls Kenya, where I facilitate sessions on menstrual hygiene and children's rights.
