What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead or support development programs advancing youth participation, governance, social and economic inclusion, climate action, and institutional capacity through strong partnerships and practical community impact.

I've led youth development, governance, and social inclusion initiatives with Kenya Red Cross Society, reaching more than 10,000 young people and supporting a project portfolio exceeding USD 180,660. My work has included partnerships with Danish Red Cross, DANIDA, UNICEF, USAID, FHI360, and other development organizations.

As Director & Founder of We Flare, I provide organizational leadership, build partnerships, mobilize resources, and advise on climate and adolescent development programs. I bring practical experience in program delivery, capacity building, youth participation, budget monitoring, data management, advocacy, and training.
