Fatuma Ibrahim Ali

Fatuma credits her success to her grandmother who took her to school after her parents separated. She chose to study Agriculture as she believes that only agriculture could alleviate poverty in food insecure Wajir County. Her work at UN Women exposed her to the challenges women face daily, physically and mentally. In 2003 she was appointed a commissioner to the Kenya National Commission for Human Rights (KNCHR) and spearheaded the release of a report faulting the government’s IDP’s resettlement exercise (Operation Rudi Nyumbani). Fatuma is passionate about girl child education and seeks to ensure none of the girls in Wajir lacks education due to financial constraints.

  • 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: end up abolishing CSOs and public benefits organizations. I want to appeal to Jubilee to oppose this move of barring civil societies’ external funding. I thought that this was a progressive regime. I still believe so and I have a lot of hope in this Government. I never thought that such a Bill would find its way into this Parliament; it wants to stop funding to public benefits organizations, which have restored dignity and life to people who cannot access public service and resources. I stand with passion and humility to oppose this misleading amendment. view
