Message From Our Founder

"As a founder, I understand poverty is not a personal failure - its systemic. Breaking the myths that blame individuals and tackling the barriers holding communities back is the way to create real opportunities for change. At Undugu, we address root causes, promote equity and education. We aim to create lasting change. We are open to collaborations in education, menstrual hygiene, and socio-economic empowerment initiatives" - Immaculate Wesonga
