The first day Mwara walked into the office, there was a quiet confidence about her, the kind that comes from curiosity more than certainty. She had just finished high school at Bishop Mackenzie International School, where she studied Maths, Chemistry, and Global Politics. It’s a mix that reflects how she sees the world: through numbers, questions, and a genuine interest in people.
When we spoke with her, she said something simple that stayed with us:
“I want to see how things actually happen.”
In her first days, she’s already joined team discussions, asked thoughtful questions about youth engagement, and helped document stories. She’s learning that impact isn’t about grand gestures, but about consistency, reflection, and care.
Mwara’s presence is a reminder of the importance of opening our doors to youth at an early stage, not because they have every solution, but because their inquiries support the integrity and dynamism of our efforts.
Here’s what she shared as she began her journey with us:
“I’m delighted to be here. I’ve read about impact, but now I get to see what it looks like in practice. I want to contribute and understand what it really takes to make change happen.”
Welcome, Mwara. We’re excited to have you with us!
