Edith, a 29-year-old hailing from a marginalized community in West Pokot County, Kenya, is passionate about girls’ education. She is an educationist with a vision of taking literacy to the herdsboys and girls in her village. Through her organization, Edith’s vision is to equip girls with the tools and knowledge they need to reach their full potential, shattering stereotypes and paving the way for a brighter future. She aspires for girls to discover the power of dreaming big and defying expectations.
“As a visionary leader I envision a world where children are allowed to be children,girls are allowed to dream and have a voice and a future where access to books and education is not a privilege but a fundamental right.”
