I am a passionate advocate for farmed animal welfare, environmental sustainability, and sustainable food systems. With a background in law, I have dedicated my career to driving positive change through policy advocacy. At SSI, we are developing the first animal-specific guidelines for fish and chickens in Uganda. I also serve as a ProVeg Youth Board member and a World Food Forum Youth Representative for where I contribute to global discussions on sustainable food systems.
How others can help me
I am looking for an opportunity to collaborate with professionals and organizations that share a commitment to animal welfare and sustainable living. Seeking mentorship and guidance in the legal field, especially concerning ethical practices and animal rights, would greatly contribute to my growth. Connecting with individuals and groups dedicated to positive change and ethical living will enhance our collective impact.

Happy that such events bring all actors on board irrespective of their origin. Africa has been engaged. I also pray that the youth, especially from Africa be brought onboard as well. Africa is the youngest continent in the world, and if systemic change is to be realized, youth need to be actively engaged and included.
AI is a potentially destructive phenomenon if it is not well managed and like with all historical disruptors, Africa has always been affected severely by such developments- We are still in the journey of adapting, adopting and learning the current state-of-the-art technologies and yet AI is growing at a jet-like speed. I believe that more sensitization in Africa is a viable stepping stone to addressing the challenges that come with Artificial Intelligence.
Wonderful work AAA is doing here in Africa.
