Akilah Speaks Out at University of South Florida

Meet the Akilah team: Kelley Mulfinger
Kelley Mulfinger, Development Associate
Two days after I joined the team in January, I hopped on a 30+ hour plane ride and made my way to Rwanda, just in time to help with the Opening of Akilah. Working for Akilah has been incredible experience and I consider myself lucky to be a part of this organization from the start!
Now that I’ve returned to the US from Rwanda, a LOT of people I’ve met have asked me, “Why Akilah?”
Akilah REALLY does stand apart because I believe in this organization’s potential to create real, sustainable, positive change. The potential to empower women to learn important skills and find meaningful jobs. The potential to impact their families by financially sustaining them with new income after graduation. The potential to make a difference as business leaders and entrepreneurs in their communities. Akilah has the potential to transform individual lives and their communities and I am proud to be a part of that.
Most importantly, the Akilah Institute is already an incredible place filled with incredible people. Being in Rwanda for the entire month of January, getting to know the staff, and meeting the students, motivates me everyday to work as hard as I can to spread awareness about Akilah’s powerful mission from the US and around the world.
