Kenya
I have been working in Kenya for the last 15 years. I started working with the Kenya Red Cross on a series of projects related to climate change; these projects dealt primarily with food insecurity and limited access to water. My research and outreach with the Kenya Red Cross led to other projects which included working with HIV/AIDS communities and orphans. After, I continued my doctoral research with the Kenya Red Cross and focused on understanding implications of water interventions on communities. Since that point, I also started a nonprofit called Water 2 Schools, where we get children in schools’ access to water. We have helped over 20,000 people to date. I also started the TOMS project with the Kenya Red Cross to help eliminate or decrease jiggers infestations in children who don’t have school. Since then, I have worked with AMREF on projects that focus on female genital mutilation. I have also conducted research on breast cancer in the largest referral hospital in all of East Africa, focusing on barriers to treatment. I have also worked in the informal mining industry to understand mercury exposure and gender related issues. My time and breadth of research in Kenya is significant. I have lived on the ground, in manyattas (mud huts) with no electricity or running water, spent time in Kibera with fellow slum dwellers, I have bestowed Maasai and Kamas named (Naserian and Mwende), and have spent time all over the country with various tribes. I have a very significant understanding of historical and present days issues in the political context as well. I have brothers and sisters in the United Nations, WHO, and throughout the country in various leading authorities who have helped encourage and lead my deep dive into Kenya culture. I have published numerous research articles on Kenya and on these various issues; part of this research earned my acceptance as a fellow in The Explorers Club. I feel comfortable with the following human rights issues: gender equality, right to a healthy environment, gender violence, environmental damage, indigenous rights, health, and women’s rights.
Brazil
I have been working with Brazilians on issues in Brazil for almost a decade. I started working with a group of professors at the University of Brasilia on occupational and health issues experienced by waste pickers. We focused on the informal industry of waste picking in open air dumps. Since then, the dumps have been closed and we have worked very closely with the ministry of health, WEIGO, clinics, and universities to change occupational outcomes. We spend a lot of time in the favelas (slums) and recently brought the WHO out to the fields with us as well as documentaries to give rise to the issue. We have published well over 15 peer reviewed research articles, started a branch in the Workplace Health Without Borders, and have included various areas of exploration including: social issues, vector borne disease and exposures, government and policy perspectives, water and sanitation, communicable disease, and sexual transmitted infections due to poverty and insecurity. I have spent time in Brasilia and have worked in many areas of implementation and translation science, as we worked with officials from the Ministry of Health in Brazil. I feel comfortable with the following human rights issues: gender equality, right to a health environment, environmental damage, health, and women’s rights.
