I am driven by the desire to live a life of significance and to leave my best contribution in the world, reflected in the work that I do and the way I choose to live my life. I’m an advocate for progress where my combination of skills, experience, strengths and passion, as well as my flair for creative thinking and a fierce commitment to contributing to the achievement of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), position me at the forefront of socio-economic transformation and development in Africa. The above represent the 3 principle goals that all my work always aligns with.
Campaigns & Causes
FUNDRAISING TARGET
US$500,000
TO TRAIN AFRICAN YOGA TEACHERS
I am spearheading a fundraising campaign to establish an endowment fund to
train youth from under-served communities in Africa to become yoga teachers with formidable enterprising skills. I am eager to provide the opportunity to learn tools for well-being and entrepreneurship – providing sustainable earning avenues to young people across the continent who are keen to create viable careers and livelihoods in the wellness industry. This will also enable them to pay-it-forward by teaching their skills to their families and community members.
THE FUNDRAISING WILL BEGIN IN

With the slogan “One day can change your whole life,” Global Wellness Day is an entirely not-for-profit day, a social project dedicated to living well. The purpose of the campaign is to ask the question, even if for just one day, “How can I live a healthier and better life?”, to direct the thoughts of both individuals and society towards “living well” and to raise awareness.
