The visionaries behind Tumaini Touch Foundation
Pauline Mwaura
For Pauline Mwaura, Tumaini Touch Foundation is more than an organization, it is a calling. As a co-founder and director, she is driven by a deep desire to see every child and vulnerable family given a fair chance to thrive. Pauline holds a BSc in Chemistry and an MBA in Strategic Management, and is currently pursuing a PhD in Leadership and Accountability at the School of Business, Open University of Kenya. Having been a bright student herself who nearly missed the opportunity to attend a prestigious school due to financial constraints, Pauline was personally supported to continue her education an experience that deeply shaped her passion to support others facing similar challenges. With over eight years of experience in banking, mentorship of young people, and entrepreneurship in renewable energy, she has walked alongside many students at risk of dropping out due to lack of fees. Pauline leads with compassion and purpose, committed to leaving lasting fingerprints of hope in every life the foundation touches
