Founder & CEO at Signals from the Grassroots (SftG), a global youth empowerment NGO uniting over 5,000 young people from 54 countries to address community challenges through grassroot initiatives. Inspired by my own struggles to find volunteer opportunities as a teenager, I founded SftG to create means and opportunities for young people to lead positive change in their communities. SftG’s flagship initiative, “Keep Her in School with a Reusable Sanitary Pad”, tackled period poverty in Uganda by distributing 2,000 reusable pads and 2,000 soaps to 1,000 girls in 8 schools across 3 of the country's most rural districts. The project also fostered awareness among boys to combat menstrual stigma, ensuring girls could stay in school and thrive.I am doing what I can with what I have, to better other people's lives especially the marginalized.
