She loves to be outdoors and be around people and animals. She is a licensed Cosmetologist and is excited to show her creative side helping us make Pancreas Pillows! Thank you for your help Lynsea!!”

Just One Person’s philosophy is that girls are members of our organization for life.  They appreciate the opportunities they’ve been offered and are committed to sharing their knowledge and resources with their mothers, sisters, neighbors and daughters for generations to come. Mwanaidi joined the Just One Person (JOP) project in rural Kenya after her high school recognized she was girl with a lot of potential and not much opportunity.  She is the oldest of 8 children. He was working to support his family as a taxi conductor when he had a stroke, leaving him totally debilitated.  Mwanaidi, her mom and 7 brothers and sisters live in a one room concrete house.  Her mom sells a few vegetables by the road to make enough money to feed her family, but there’s no extra money for things like medications and. school.  Mwanaidi graduated from high school in 2010.  Subsequently, she earned a certificate as a chef, so she can pursue a profession that ensures her a decent wage and the ability to contribute to the welfare of her family.  

This is Rasoha Annex. She was one of the original girls in the program and she made pancreas pillows during her gap year. Rashoha graduated with a degree in plant biology from Moi University. She came back to Kakamega and is now working as an assistant to Emma.

She’s tracking the high school girls and revitalizing our JOP projects like the poultry, mushrooms and bananas as well as going pancreas pillows. She’s doing a great job, she has strong leadership qualities.
