Christine graduated from Maseno University with a Bachelors in Gender Studies and a minor in IT. She is a community development worker, a genderist and a professional counselor.

Christine is driven to create the best possible future for her life and also to improve life of others. She has a passion and a desire to be the change she wants to see in Maasai communities. Christine’s own remarkable life journey to a university education includes overcoming many of the intense challenges girls face in the region we work. These experiences make her a powerful and compassionate advocate on behalf of Maasai girls. On her own initiative, she rescued four young girls from early marriage and FGC (Female Genital Circumcision) prior to her work with For the Good. She is also passionate about improving life opportunities for the differently-abled in her Maasai communitiies.

“Girls need the love of their fathers, but they may have to lose that to change the culture of early marriage. Now, I teach girls how to accept and live without that. Helping them by buying them necessities like pads and panties or food so they can stay in school, and sometimes even helping them to run away from forced marriage is risky. But these challenges are stepping stones to a different, brighter future. To have vision and an education is key to change.”
