Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference.
Jane Goodall
Give Back
I have educational/professional background in international development & conservation and I spent my good 7 years living and working in East Africa. I started my journey in Uganda, working with children for the conservation project.
I owe so much to Africa - its vibrancy, energy, beauty of people, culture and nature in Africa, the Cradle of Humankind - There’s this beauty of being able to connect to the fullness of who I am, and I’m not trying to be someone else. There’s this feeling at home deep inside myself, in a way I can only describe when I am in Africa.
Community collaboration and inclusivity are my values. I believe in the strength of the community, fostering meaningful connections and collaborative partnership to create positive impacts locally and globally. From my work of organizing retreats, I source funds for grassroots organisations working in Tanzania. I visit and experience all the projects myself, all choices are made with careful consideration and personal experience.
