    About

    I am very passionate about social impact and global philanthropy and this where my expertise lies. I have a very versatile set of skills both in corporate and non-profit sectors and therefore problem solving, communication, innovation, planning, strategizing, collaboration, and project management come easy to me. Being the Director and Founder of Nyara Youth Development has really honed in on my stakeholder engagement, strategy and communicating skills. I have achieved great strides of raising close to R1 million in just 2 years and building a Rural Community Network with its own ISP on nothing alone but grit. I believe that with the right mindset, there’s nothing you can’t achieve.
