I have this endless list of great women that are change agents in my community. I would like to present three so that you tough girls help me make a choice...
Cecilia Mwangi, Former beauty queen (Miss Kenya 2005) who has resorted to giving the best to the society through fighting jiggers. Through her 'Help remove a jigger' campaign and being the founder of Ahadi Kenya Trust, the only organization that recognizes the bad effects of jiggers and how it degrades those affected, she has managed to transgress most parts of the country and helped so many helpless women and children who are mostly affected.
Through her campaign, she has managed to give hope to women, counselled them on the best hygiene to avoid jigger manifestation. She has managed to combine her beauty amd turned it in to a charitable cause. To me, she is great. what do you think?Mrs. Vijoo Rattansi, The Chairlady of Rattansi Educational Trust. this is a phylanthropic woman who fo years has impacted on the lives of many underpreviledged youths. The educational trust is a family fund and is given in support of education to those bright high school and tertiary education students from poor backgrounds. To me, she is a great woman because education generally is an empowerment tool and through her noble cause, she has managed to empower many.
Mrs. Florence Jaoko, the chairlady of Kenya National Commission on Human Rights. This is a national human rights body. Through Jaoko's voice and fearless leadership, we have seen many unspoken ills being exposed, probing the government to act.
So, these are my choices. What do you think ladies?
