the Mojatu Foundation. She is a human rights activist,

later came to the UK for further studies. A part of her
Maasai community still doesn’t value girl’s education.

Documentary Film Making, Degree in Business Management
and a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA).
For over 5 years, Valentine has been involved in
working with communities mainly girls, women and
young people and has set up projects and campaigns
in Africa and the UK to support these groups. She also
supports small women groups to set and start up their
own business enterprises. Her work with young people
in schools and colleges to raise their aspirations and
inspire them with her personal stories has been highly
commended by the schools she has worked with.
She has organised many events bringing different
communities together including national and
international conferences, cultural events, sports
events, farm events among others thus facilitating
community cohesion and integration and sharing
important information.

regional and international events. Human Rights
