About Me

Driven by a profound belief in the transformative power of human connection, I have devoted my life to serving communities in need. My journey in philanthropy began at Cannan Children’s Home in Mombasa, where I helped nurture and empower orphaned and abandoned children, ensuring they found safety, education, and a sense of belonging. That experience ignited a calling far beyond any institution—a vision to unite compassionate volunteers with underserved populations across Kenya. In my part time, I am the manager of a tours and safari’s company that I founded to efficiently organize and conduct safaris for nationals visiting Kenya for the first time.

Global Hearts Volunteers

As the founder of Global Hearts Volunteers, I channel my energy and expertise into creating structured, sustainable programs that address the most pressing challenges facing vulnerable groups. Under my leadership, Global Hearts has launched initiatives in:

Education Support: Tutoring, school supplies drives, and mentorship for children in remote communities.
Health & Wellness: HIV/AIDS awareness campaigns, community health screenings, and mental health workshops.
Disability Inclusion:Skills training and advocacy to foster independence and social integration.
Women & Girl Empowerment: Leadership workshops, financial literacy training, and support networks that uplift young women.
Community Rehabilitation: Grassroots drug recovery programs and widows’ self-help cooperatives that promote healing and economic resilience

My Approach

I believe that lasting change springs from collaboration. Working hand-in-hand with local leaders, fellow nonprofits, and global volunteers helps tailor every project to the unique strengths and needs of each community. This hands-on management style ensures that volunteers are well-prepared, resources are efficiently allocated, and outcomes are measured and celebrated.

Vision & Impact

Guided by empathy, respect, and relentless optimism, I envision a future where every Kenyan community—regardless of geography or circumstance—has access to opportunities for growth and dignity. Through Global Hearts Volunteers, this is a strive to leave behind more than aid: building net- works of solidarity, equipping ordinary people to become agents of change, and planting the seeds of hope that blossom long after any single volunteer visit.
