Nancy Njunji Hinga

Constituency: Kabete Constituency

Inspiration

Nancy Hinga is passionate about dealing with rising poverty levels. She is keen to see her constituents gain access to the basic needs such as: health, education, clean and safe water, food and shelter.
Her greatest strength is community mobilization. She has over 18 years experience in development work. She has made the observation that people are not able to change their circumstances because they have not known how to mobilize their resources; indeed poverty is often not in the pocket but in the mind. A leader proposes alternatives and galvanizes energy towards programmes that have a long lasting impact on the people’s lives. “If what I have done in war–ravaged Sudan has impacted positively the poor, then the impact will be a hundred-fold among the hard working people of Kabete Constituency.”
