Nancy is the founder of Tunaweza Empowerment Foundation. The foundation helps under-served girls stay in the classroom by distributing environmentally friendly sanitary pads and providing additional educational services and mentorship. With this scalable yet simple solution, Kenyan girls can meet the promise of their future.

As a proud mother of two children, a son and a daughter, she also boasts a rich education background and holds papers from various universities. Nancy has a MBA in Strategic Management (Daystar University), A Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration (BBA, Marketing Option) from Kenya Methodist University, and holds a Diploma in Business Administration from The Kenya Institute of Management.

The CBO is also focused on ending poverty by educating and empowering young people.

She is also an Associate Member (AMKIM) - Kenya Institute of Management, a Rotarian for Nairobi North, and a member of Naivasha Sports Club where she plays golf during her free time.
