Nelly is a woman with a busy schedule - she's balancing studying accounting at ALX Africa, being the head of multiple non-profits, and being a mom. She also taught herself data science through one of the programs at MIT ReACT, which referred her to us.

As a survivor of assault herself, Nelly understands the challenges underprivileged people face every day, which is why she has established community-based organizations that promote equal rights, as well as participate in the education of young women and girls. 

Nelly says that the challenges of life have made her stronger and braver; She is proud of how far she has come! Now Nelly is writing a book based on her own life and what she does to impact the lives of people in the community through education.

We wish her all the best, and we hope to come back to Malawi to support future leaders like Nelly, whose full story you can read here.
