Community Engagements and Volunteering
BintiBomba Initiative
Founder and Chairperson
I spearheaded the creation of a platform dedicated to empowering female high school graduates in Kibera through computer programming education. Leading fundraising efforts and applying for grants, I ensured the sustainability and growth of our impactful programs. One notable initiative was the organization of a Women in STEM conference held in Kibera high schools, providing invaluable exposure and opportunities for girls in the community to explore and engage with STEM fields. Through my leadership and dedication to fostering inclusivity and empowerment, BintiBomba continues to make meaningful strides in bridging the gender gap in technology and promoting educational equity in underserved communities.
Financial Literacy Project
Organiser
With the support of Ashesi University, I conducted a financial literacy workshop in Kibera for 130 incredible women. In a community where women predominantly serve as breadwinners, this initiative marked a substantial stepping stone towards economic empowerment. I partnered with financial advisors from Equity Bank Limited and ICEA LION Group.
Soweto Academy for Girls, Kibera
Tutor
During my gap year, I shared my passion and love for Mathematics and the Sciences
i.e. Computer Technology, Chemistry, Biology and Physics with young girls in my community. I worked on improving their confidence in the STEM subjects.
Umoja Youth Group
Volunteer
During the Covid-19 era, I actively contributed to the Umoja Youth Group's efforts in supporting the community amidst the pandemic. Engaging in food distribution initiatives aimed at assisting the less fortunate, I played a crucial role in ensuring essential supplies reached those in need during challenging times. Additionally, I took on the responsibility of educating community members on the importance of using masks and adhering to Covid-19 guidelines, advocating for public health awareness and safety measures to mitigate the spread of the virus. Through my involvement with the Umoja Youth Group, I demonstrated a commitment to serving and uplifting the community during times of crisis.
Pad Drive
Community Service
My close friends and I organize for sanitary towels distribution at the end of every quarter year to financially struggling orphanages in Ghana, as part of a give back service to the community.
