Advocacy: I am the founder of Care Dear Foundation, an organization dedicated to championing and restoring the mental health, wellbeing, and aspirations of young girls and young women through dance.Through dance, I have been working with four teenage mothers, creating a safe space where they can express themselves, process their experiences, and rebuild confidence.For me, dance has always been more than performance — it was a place of healing, and today it has become a tool to help other young women heal too.

Through Care Dear Foundation, I have been recruiting and training girls in dance while creating spaces where they can openly share their challenges before we use movement as a way to release, reconnect, and rebuild. Our work is built around Healing, Empowerment, and Restoration — reminding every girl that she is seen, valued, and worthy.

So far, we have partnered through sports activities including cheerleading at events with 82 Sports Kenya,and we have also connected the girls to football games and local sporting events. My vision is to continue expanding this impact by raising 50 million shillings to build 10 female-accessible football turfs across Kenya — creating safe spaces where women’s talent can be nurtured, opportunities can grow, and young women’s lives can be transformed through sports
