 About Me |
Currently, I work for Villages Action Against Poverty (VAAP) as Project Coordinator in which I just concluded a short term project funded by USAID/DAI titled: Holding non-performing politicians accountable. The project implemented in Nyando constituency of Kenya involved community fora in all the 14 locations 2 Division and one at the constituency level. The project used community meetings, non –violent mass processions and media advocacy in a local FM radio to provide Nyando constituents the opportunity to interact and interrogate their elected leaders on the promises and pledges made in the run up to the 2007 general elections in Kenya.
I am also the GKP 2005 Youth and ICT award winner. As a result, I was offered a full scholarship to participate in the 2005 World Summit of the Information Society WSIS in Tunis where our awards were presented.
