Peninah Namuyiga

Uganda

Peninah is an alumna of Makerere University where she pursued a degree in Quantitative Economics. She was born in 1995. Peninah is passionate about data analysis and management a skill she attained during her studies and she is currently using at work.

She was raised by a single mother, and was forced early to offer leadership to her siblings as she was also from an economically challenged background. Coming from such an environment gave her the determination to aspire for both education and leadership. This eventually trended even to the schools she went to.

She is a volunteer in a local sanitation business where she is a team leader managing diverse interests. This has enabled her learn how to take tough decisions, communicate and network to ensure living in a hygienically safe environment.

Peninah reads widely including spiritual messages and she loves making new friends.
