" The need for a safe world and safe workspace where typical medical procedures can be carried out drive my awareness creation efforts. Studying hard in my undergraduate to become a doctor would be futile if we were to go back to the pre-antibiotic era where minor infections and surgical procedures were claiming lives. It will be in futility if by practicing I am endangering my life. An action has to be taken. For this reason, I took it upon myself to bridge the knowledge gaps that exists among my fellow students and the community at large in a bid to inform behavior change. Being part of the Millennium Fellowship gives me an exclusive opportunity to interact with fellow young leaders across the globe hence getting a chance to share ideas and learn from them as they make the world a better place in their small ways.

My project aims to increase awareness on antimicrobial resistance. It targets mainly students from the College of Health Sciences and the Veterinary Medicine School at the University of Nairobi. I aim to do this through online webinars and through community sensitization programs.
