We set my team as an Education through Football program implementing the FIFA Grassroots in Kwale County of Kenya. This was launched in 2017. I received recognition for the work that I continue to do to meet Global Goal 4 Quality Education.

Upon receiving the Diana Award in July 2020, I started digging deeper into what makes changemakers great. I found that there are many important influences in a child’s early learning journey.

In fact, studies show that outside of parents, educators are the second most influential factor in a child’s learning outcomes and future overall wellbeing. And the effects go far beyond a child’s ability to read and write.

I now want to know more about what is it that professionals and educators do - by speaking to professionals and educators around the world about their methods and find out how they overcome the challenges too. It is this generation - my generation - that is left to make the difference in the world, we all want to see. I want to know; can we achieve it?

The best partnerships aren’t dependent on a mere common goal but on a shared path of equality, desire, and no small amount of passion.

Graçias.
