Big shoutout & appreciation 🫂 to @USEmbassyKenya @USAmbKenya for betting on me & other scholars during my early days @educationusa inaugural class @knls_Nakuru ... a thread: Coming full circle 1/n
I’m so grateful for the top-tier guidance, & encouragement that literally unlocked the world for me! 2/n
Your support has meant everything to me: global impact @Haverford_cpgc & startup fellowships, a sabbatical, numerous awards, world-class scholarship, & more; all crescendoing to this momentous day🎊 @haverfordedu 3/n
(PSA) For any recent high school or college grad, please consider pursuing higher education in the United States or anywhere🌏; put yourself out there😉: 4/n

I’ve learnt & grown so much while @haverfordedu; it's such an honor to be inducted into a community of one of the most caring, passionate, intelligent, impact-conscious, and driven people I know, heck in the🗺️ 6/n
It’s @haverfordedu where I got an education that didn't aim to just make me a good student/a good fit for big tech but truly developed me as a critical thinker with child-like curiosity, a visual artist, a storyteller, an engineer, & an emerging young leader. #LivesThatSpeak 7/n
So, what next? (cc @waitbutwhy) 8/n
I’m stoked to join the Haverford Incubator ‘22 working fulltime as the lead technical PM @Flux_Impact where we build affordable software tools contextualized for utilities in emerging markets🚀 #buildinpublic #digitalnomad 9/n
How? 10/n
@Flux_Impact rehabilitates & digitizes aging debilitating & disjointed, leaky analog water systems at scale, across emerging markets, starting in East Africa. 11/n
@Flux_Impact uses data-driven methods to build inexpensive B2B software, hardware & analytic tools to serve struggling neglected water utilities.

Eliminate 100% of all water lost + Account for every single drop of water in real-time == improved access to water for all. 12/n
To what end? 13/n
24/7 access to clean water and sanitation is a critical but severely neglected requisite to radically improving the quality of life & health of millions of people living in emerging markets. 14/n
So that people living in communities, like the one my family & I, grew up in, can finally have reliable access to quality water and sanitation, education, health care, & other basic services that we often take for granted especially across the global North. 15/n
We’re on an audacious mission @Flux_Impact to rapidly transform utility revenues, operational efficiency and near real-time field visibility, all still unprecedented🚀...one utility at each community, at a time. 16/n
Want to perhaps follow along on this exciting journey, chat, support my scholarship, collaborate, fund or to join us?🤩

...the unique opportunities afforded to me & to paying it forward through our inaugural '19 Kiota fellowship dedicated to honoring the resilience and success of many other young people like myself💐🎉 19/n
