Meet the Ambassadors
Katelyn Brush
“It's up to us to rally for her.”
I believe that changing one girl's life is helping women everywhere. A rising tide, lifts all ships. We all have something to contribute to the world and if a voice, a choice, and a bank account is what stands between a woman and her ability to live a fulfilling, safe, empowered life. Hearing how Elimu Girls helps girls start businesses and how it helps them cultivate more safety and possibility, not only for themselves but for their families and siblings too, had me reflecting on how women are still fighting today for basic needs and rights.
Katelyn is a holistic business coach, consultant and the founder of Nurtured Marketing Agency. She has always anchored her roots in using business as a force for good and began her support toward Elimu Girls in 2022 when she co-published the book, Heart-Centered Leadership which donated all proceeds to the foundation. Within all of her work is the mission to help women feel their own power, and claim their health and wealth at a higher standard. She is originally from New York, now in Colorado and helps businesses world-wide make more impact and income doing what they love.
"[Elimu Girls] gives me hope for the future generations of women."

"I love the creative projects and tangible skills these girls are learning"
It has been such a pleasure working with Cindy and getting to know many of the women that Elimu Girls directly supports. There is something special about seeing an organization like Elimu Girls where the founder's feet are on the ground, directly working with the beneficiaries. It feels like the ultimate act of service to support these incredible young women, and give them the tools, resources and belief in themselves to start their business, support their families and change the entire trajectory of their future.

Kayleigh O'Keefe
I was drawn to work with Elimu Girls because I believe deeply in healing ourselves and changing the trajectory of our lives – and the lives of everyone around us. Working with EG makes me feel a deep sense of connection to the struggles that all women face and the power of insight and community to heal our collective wounds and rise above. I love the intimacy of working with EG. My authors and I have been blown away every time we receive a personalized message from the women of Kenya sharing their gratitude and reading one of our books.
