Despite coming from a small village in Nyamaharaga, Kenya. Ruth has managed to economically empower 5000 girls and young women with Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) skills.

The ladies acquire STEM training, mentorship and workshops empowering them to use their creativity to develop innovative solutions to community problems aligned with the Sustainable development goals. Follow her journey from joining Computer Studies class in high school, later pursuing a degree in technology at the Technical University of Mombasa, and running many STEM initiatives in Mombasa Kenya. She is a self taught website developer with a strong passion to mentor and train girls learn technology, a field that women are under represented globally.
