Cynthia Nekesa

African Leadership University, Rwanda

My name is Cynthia Nekesa, a first-year student at the African Leadership University Rwanda pursuing an honors degree in Software Engineering. My mission is to help farmers in my community(99% are women) who have been impacted by climate change by using technology so that their food production and processing are easier for sustainable food security. At the end of the FXB climate advocate training, I hope to come up with a climate advocacy campaign project around the impact of climate change on agriculture and the importance of embracing nature conservation, especially in my home country Nairobi where climate change is accelerated by high rates of pollution.
