Makena shares,
"My name is Makena Mugambi and I am glad for the opportunity to be working alongside The Humanity Share team in Kenya.
I am from Nairobi, Kenya, and am passionate to see my generation being equipped and resourced through education, community, and leadership development. For the last five years, I lived in Holland, Michigan where I received my Bachelor's degree in Communication with a focus on Sociology and Organizational Leadership from Hope College. Following the completion of my degree, I joined the staff of the Phelps Scholars Program at Hope College. The Phelps Scholars Program is a first-year academic and residential life program for students in higher education seeking to grow in their connection with people from different backgrounds that hold different views.
As I step into this role, I am looking forward to connecting with the efforts of the organization and seeing the increase of impact among the girls and families of Kajiado and West Pokot.
I would love to connect with and get to know you! Please feel free to email me at makena@thehumanityshare.org to get connected."
