Ms Duba's foundation in Kenya fights for girls’ education, works to promote communal integration, and struggles against harmful cultural practices such as female genital mutilation, as well as early and forced marriages.

Ms Duba's school has 160 pupils. She says she hopes to accommodate more than 300 once a new building is ready.

The only graduate from her village, Ms Duba said she understands the power of education in transforming societies.

The school has four classrooms and more will be added soon.
