From Challenges to Opportunities: A Journey of Sustainable Impact

My journey began in Uganda and led me to Cyprus for studies at Cyprus University of Technology, where I founded the Running-Fluent Initiative, to turn challenges as an immigrant from the ‘third world country’ into opportunities for positive impact and community empowerment.

Through funding and support from the EU, the Council of Europe, and the European Climate Pact, the initiative planted hundreds of trees, organized hundreds of multicultural & intercultural activities, and united communities strategically through inclusive dialogue here in Cyprus.

With the European Solidarity Corps, I merged my passion for environmental sustainability with intercultural leadership in a project ‘‘innovative creation and development of a green and health community’’. Every marathon I run, every action i take, and every project I manage reflects my commitment to inspire sustainable and impactful change uniquely.

I have received numerous accolades and recognitions at both a local and national level here in Cyprus. Something I’m really proud of an immigrant who aspires for true inclusive, sustainable, and interconnected communities in these moments Cyprus and entire Europe face immigration pressure with all the related negativities (Racism, xenophobia, racial based violence and assaults etc).
