He has previously worked with and consulted for the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) and Tredak Consult Limited on Research based Gender Responsive interventions relating to Climate Adaptation Projects funded by the Adaptation Fund Program in different fourteen (14) Counties in the Republic of Kenya.

His vast understanding on matters relating to socio-community project needs and interventional approaches is attributed to more than 12years work experience with at most 6 Non-Governmental and Community Based Organizations in Kibra and Lang’ata Constituencies in Nairobi County. Comparably, he founded other Community based registered youth and women organizations in rural home Rachuonyo North Sub County, Karachuonyo Constituency through which his engagements with local communities are sustainably aligned.
