I am hard working and have the ability to learn new things quickly. I also love building works and like to dedicate my self to my work and empowered each day to use my knowledge to build a solution that benefits my community . A report, published by the World Health Organization and the World Bank on Wednesday, found the poorest and most vulnerable people are routinely forced to choose between healthcare and other necessities for their household, including food and education, subsisting on $1.90 (£1.40) a day. I am a cofounder at clinicPesa in Uganda (East Africa), where we empower the numerous uninsured citizens of East Africa starting with Uganda and Kenya to save as little as $ 0.2 (£0.162) in a cumulative manner so that in case of need they will use it to offset their medical bills. We also give loan top-ups for the bills at very minimal loan fee. Our vision is to reduce out of pocket expenditure, enable everyone access decent healthcare services, reduce death and chronic complications caused by delayed treatment. We completely believe that a “tree starts from a small seed” and as so will this grow to improve the lives of the many East Africans.
