After a while of abstinence from the limelight, the Second lady of Kenya, Rachel Ruto has come out once again with a grand introduction of her elementary school teacher.
Through her social media pages, Rachel showered praises on Naftali Olasya, a headteacher who literally saw her grow from a little nursery school girl to her adolescent years.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”.
Nelson Mandela

“My headmaster from nursery to class seven in Likuyani Primary School in Kakamega County was the beacon of fortitude in my childhood years,” Rachel began.
She highly applauded Olasya, indicating that he went out of his way to not only educate the children but also inspire hope despite their humble origins.
“He planted seeds of knowledge, sprinkled them with love, and patiently nurtured their growth. It was a blessing to reconnect with him. He is indeed a change agent,” she added.
Rachel Ruto’s further education.
Later on, Rachel would graduate from Kenyatta University with a Bachelor’s degree in Education in the 1990s and followed in Olasya’s footsteps becoming a teacher.
Afterward, the second lady put an end to her teaching career to become a stay-at-home mum as well as run the family business, Venture Africa Safaris, and Travel Ltd.
As for now, she is a front liner in advocating for women empowerment – a cause she has dutifully taken up and painstakingly upheld to create more favorable opportunities for women in the country.
Additionally, she is the founder of the Joyful Women Organization (JOYWO), an NGO that generates champions for the welfare of women through various poverty-alleviating initiatives.
JOYWO’S flagship project provided financial resources to women to engage in livelihood projects through table banking.
In the line of her duty, she was awarded the International Honorary Fellowship Award on Women Empowerment at the Binary University in Malaysia.
