Catherine Asego, the last born of the Asego siblings will in June be heading to the United States for the Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders.
The young leader was picked for her passion for education, especially for under-privileged children in Kibera.
“Our girls are still missing out on education opportunities given the myriad challenges that affect them, from lack of sanitary towels to falling prey to perpetrators of sexual harassment and poverty,” she says.
This fellowship offers Catherine a chance to study at one of the 20 top American universities and after six weeks of academic coursework and executive leadership training focused on civic leadership, the fellows will converge in Washington, DC for a Presidential Summit and Town Hall with President Obama
