Claudia Wanjiru

Claudia is a passionate education entrepreneur with over 19 years of experience spanning both business and education. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences from the Catholic University of Eastern Africa, alongside additional credentials in Business Strategy from Harvard Business School Online and Clinical Nursing from Bates Technical College (Washington State, USA). She is the proprietor and current Managing Director of Dawamu School, in addition to managing other business ventures.

Claudia’s involvement with NRCF is driven by her deep commitment to meaningful, future-ready education. Over the years, she has consistently championed not only academic excellence, but also the urgent need for learners to acquire practical skills,
particularly in applied digital literacy, agri-preneurship, media technology, and entrepreneurship. This focus directly aligns with NRCF’s mission to create education opportunities that lead to dignified, sustainable livelihoods.

Guided by her entrepreneurial spirit and hands-on experience in educational management, Claudia is committed to demonstrating how building skills early in life can serve as a catalyst for economic empowerment. She looks forward to advancing NRCF’s mission and helping scale its impact across communities.
