Loreen’s social impact journey began in 2013 while she was still a first year student and chose to volunteer at an organization called Nafisika Trust that runs prison rehabilitation programs in Kenya. She was allocated in Jamhuri Short Sentence Prison as a counselling psychologist working with inmates who had a history of drug and substance abuse addiction and she walked them through a rehabilitation programme dubbed, ‘Overcomer’s Outreach’.

This experience had a huge impact on her choices and she got a burden for the young people in society and developed a passion for creating better and sustainable communities. She served as a Programs Coordinator at Nafisika Trust for four years.

She is currently a Program Manager at The Somo Project, an organization that identifies, trains, funds and mentors entrepreneurs in low income areas.

She was awarded as an Associate fellow for The Royal Commonwealth Society in 2016, holds  a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology and Psychology , Post-graduate certificate in Social Innovation Management from Amani Institute and is currently pursuing Masters of Arts in Gender and Development studies.
