About Me

About Me
I am a young health professional committed to making a difference in my community, and in the world. I have a diploma in Clinical Medicine, Community health & Surgery. With great pleasure, I can share that I am now registered to complete my degree in clinical medicine on the weekends! I have also taken courses in maternal and child health, reproductive health, communicable & non-communicable disease.

I live in Kadongo (population: 40, 772) and am not married.

My Business

In 2015, I spearheaded the creation of a Community Based Organization (CBO) called Hecomkenya. (www.hecomkenya.org) We are now a team of 15 committed volunteers who run a medical facility and community educational health programs, with a focus on helping the disadvantaged members of our society.

We have a particular interest in health care touching on all aspects of human reproduction, including access to contraceptive choices, sexual education, menstrual health management for all girls and women, and maternal child health.


We give free health information talks at various community locations, such as learning institutions, worksites, and healthcare centers. Recently, our topics have included: family planning, menstrual hygiene and the prevalence and risks of 'back alley' abortion. Our focus is on preventing unwanted pregnancy through education and access to contraception.

We have been experimenting with different approaches, including giving out free condoms in discreet bags, when appropriate. We also track our activities and our progress toward our goals.


Please feel free to ask me any questions. I am grateful to all of lenders for being my partners in creating a sustainable and healthy future.

Loan Proposal

We are advocating for and supporting healthy behaviour change in the community through health talks in schools, churches, chief's 'barazas', youth and women groups and through workshops. This way, we believe there will be reduced general mortality rate, reduced number of patients visiting health facilities and thus reducing strains on already limited health resources.

Currently we need about USD150 to add onto what we already have to adequately stock the pharmacy to enable us meet the steadily increasing demand of our services and fund our projects.

40% of the earnings will be used for zidisha loan repayment, pay Salaries and take care of bills and other expenses while 60% facilitates the projects.

Thank you!
