About the Millennium Fellow
My name is Cynthia Shihemi, a third year student who has been borne and bred in Kenya. I have always been passionate in self-growth.However, this remains a challenge in a highly unequal society as I have grown to notice people around me who lack the ability to afford basic resources.As a result, I have grown to be passionate about development particularly that of ending hunger.Realising the importance of food and its connection to all other issues affecting society has moved me to join programs that recognise and aim at eradicating the issue.This would be a marvelous opportunity to do so.
