Hassan was born and raised in a remote village in Northern Kenya. He grew up as a tribal warrior herding goats in the African savannah. He was orphaned at the age of 9 because he lost father to malaria. He was raised by a single mother together with his twelve other siblings. Growing up in a household impoverished of basic necessities of life was live's toughest lesson for him. As a child Hassan had to walk 8 miles to attend his first elementary school under the tree. His mother was a traditional birth attendant  a respected herbalist in the village. Hassan witnessed many people particularly infants, elderly and pregnant women die of malaria, Tb and other treatable, preventable diseases in the remote areas of Kenya. Hassan came to United States of America in 2004 on an athletic  scholarship. He's the first person in his entire family to get formal education and obtained a college degree.  In his tribal traditions girls are not allowed to leave home or attend school.

These cultural barriers, forced marriages of young girls, tribal  nomadic lifestyle and  gender inequality have limited women's capacity to get beyond house chores.  After losing three members of his family recently including his mother, sister and a brother to malaria and tuberclosis, Hassan founded a community based nonprofit organization  with the aims of educating girls and empowering poor rural women  in his native Kenya. His vision is to inspire others and create opportunities for children and women in his native Kenya.

Particularly an outreach mobile clinic and a village public library which provides access to education, vaccinations for infants and pregnant women and helps fight against cultural issues such as female genital mutilation, gender violence and forced marriages of girl child.

Sometimes, something as basic as village library could allow thousands of village kids to get access to education and bring positive change to the community. " I had  opportunities which many in my village did not have, or unheard of America, in my community and for someone with my background who grew up as a warrior. My goal is to focus on womens educational and health needs by investing in their future through access to education and providing basic healthcare as a critical step towards creating a sustainable community change.
