Ann Olwande

Anne is the Headmistress of the Kibera School for Girls. She holds a Bachelor of Education with a focus on math and sciences. She has previously worked in a secondary school and so working at Kibera School for Girls, a primary school, has been a change. According to Anne, working at KSG has helped her to become more patient and understanding and less of a perfectionist. She says spending time with small innocent children, who tend to forget things, has humbled her. Anne spends most of her time on the management side but loves when she can teach. She enjoys teaching young children of different levels and the challenge it can present. Besides teaching, Anne loves swimming (though she finds it can be too cold in Nairobi!), singing and dancing, traveling to new places, and hiking. Anne has large dreams for SHOFCO. She believes in the impact the organization can have and wants that impact to be practical and far-reaching. She wants to see SHOFCO really affect the community genuinely in a way everyone recognizes and personally experiences. She hopes that KSG students will all be made even more incredible because of SHOFCO; she dreams that they will all recognize how SHOFCO helped them and continue to give back to their communities.
