A Conversation with CNN Hero of the Year, Nelly Cheboi

In this episode of The Intentional Fundraiser Podcast, I'm excited to talk with Nelly Cheboi, CEO and Founder of TechLit Africa. If her name sounds familiar, it may be because she was recently named CNN Hero of the Year.

Hear about her incredible journey from herding cows as a little girl to leading a nonprofit that brings more Kenyans into the digital economy and developing effective, scalable solutions to poverty.

Nelly’s journey is full of grit, determination, and empathy transforming the lives of youth in rural Africa through her nonprofit TechLit Africa.
