What People Say About Us
Testimonials
Meso
I am Meso Mary Gorety, a 22-year-old advocate actively engaged in the She Leads project by Pamoja CBO in Kisumu West and Seme Sub County, Kenya, funded by Plan International. Inspired by challenges witnessed in my community, where negative social norms hindered girls' education and leadership prospects, I initiated efforts for change. My advocacy extends to addressing issues like teenage pregnancy, gender-based violence, and early marriages, while also promoting increased leadership opportunities for girls. Passionate about supporting girls in STEM, I motivate and challenge cultural norms while also pursuing a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Production. Volunteering with Pamoja CBO has provided learning opportunities and additional leadership roles, further motivating my commitment to community transformation.
Lisa Grimslat
I spent 10 wonderful weeks at Pamoja CBO, learning from their staff and members, spent time in the community, and got to meet hundreds of amazing people. My 10 weeks at Pamoja taught me not only how community-based development works in practice, but also that passionate work, good intentions, cooperation, and support can make a massive difference in societies. Now that I have completed my degree in Political Science and Development studies, I will continue my career using the knowledge and experiences I maintained during my time as an intern at Pamoja
Dorine Were
I have been in Pamoja CBO for the last one year and I must say that it has been great being in the community of skilled people that strive to give back to the community they are based in. Part of the reason why I was delighted to be here was the enthusiasm that exuberated through service to people who have been singled out by others in their community because of their social status, of not being able to provide for their own basic needs. It has made communities so sanguine of their future, of being able to stand on their own two feet and have whatever they need. Therefore being in Pamoja has taught me to be selfless, kind and not look at my welfare but that of others.
Steve
I have been a dedicated volunteer at PAMOJA CBO for the past year. My experience within this organization has been exceptional. The environment at Pamoja CBO is unlike any other, giving me the opportunity to grow personally and professionally. The diverse nature of the organization has empowered me not only in terms of skills but also mentally, psychologically, and socially. The impact of the organization on the community is evident, showcasing the difference we came through hard work and selflessness.
Mourine Odhiambo
Hi, my name is Mourine Odhiambo and I've been a volunteer at Pamoja CBO for almost a year. It's not every day that you get to see, communicate and interact with people whose lives you're working towards changing. I must admit that's what attracted me most to the organization, working with the community. The organization has programs whose backbones are interaction either with oneself, with each other or with the society at large. Being an AGYW myself, I have immensely benefited from these programs and I can attest to the fact that Pamoja is actually working towards building happy, healthy and able communities.
