Issa Kipera
Programs & Sponsorship Director, ChildFund Kenya
"Every day I’m reminded of why I chose to work with children their energy, curiosity, and hope push me to do more. When you see a child smile because they finally have access to school or enough food at home, it changes you. That’s what drives me. My goal is to make sure our programs truly touch lives helping children and their communities grow stronger and build a future they can be proud"
