Judith Ochola

My name is Judith Ochola and I am a hardworking young lady who is very responsible, honest, reliable, and determined. As a leader, I believe that respect, integrity, teamwork and empowerment are both fundamental to any organization’s success. I have Diploma in Business Management from Kenya Polytechnic, a Certificate in Housekeeping and Laundry from the Kenya Utalii College, and a Certificate in Hospitality and Tourism from Whatcom Community College, Bellingham, WA. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor Degree in Business Administration.

I have a strong passion for girls and will always fight to ensure that they get equal opportunities, especially when it comes to education. I learned a lot through my own personal and I believe that my desire to change the lives of women will make a great difference in my community and contribute to the development of Kenya as a nation.

Having come from a community that does not recognize the importance of educating women, yet defeating the odds and pursuing my own education and international experience by being a recipient of the US department of State scholarship, I see the urgency of addressing the need for girl child education. The proverb that says, “If you educate a man, you educate only one person, but if you educate a woman, you educate a whole nation” is one I firmly believe in.
