Raised on a sugarcane farm in rural Western Kenya, Dr. Juliana Otieno was an exceptionally bright child and at age 14 was called to a top national school. Her family could not afford to send her, but her village took up a collection so she could go. It was a kindness she would never forget and has paid back several times over. Dr. Otieno would return to her community as a pediatrician and ultimately serve as CEO of Western Kenya’s largest teaching and referral public hospital. After retiring from public health, she entered the Inspired Leadership Initiative and has since established the Rusalia Resource Foundation, designed to identify, financially support, and mentor high potential girls. Hear from Dr. Otieno and learn about her foundation in her talk: “Inspiring Girls to Achieve.”
