“What I like most at KC is working with the Kenya Connect team. Our staff meetings are some of the most profound moments for me. Getting to hear every staff report not only about their successes but also challenges while implementing our programs is quite inspiring and uplifting. I enjoy working with the team to improve our programs and even design new ones. My utmost moment of joy is when I see a positive change among the beneficiaries of our programs.”
