Group Coordinator

JULIA KIMONDO

As the Group Coordinator of LDSKCF, I am responsible for ensuring the platform runs smoothly by making sure important information is effectively communicated from the leadership team to the community and it is my duty to ensure no unauthorized forwards are posted. This is crucial in preventing the forum from becoming congested with unnecessary information that is not verified or authorized as authentic.

I have a background in working with society’s most vulnerable individuals, initially specializing in supporting those with mental health issues and learning disabilities. This foundation paved the way for my career in social work. As a social worker, I have gained both knowledge and expertise in liaising and mediating between families, local authorities, and the community as a children’s advocate. These experiences are directly applicable to my role as Group Coordinator, where I essentially act as an advocate between the leadership team and the community.

In my leisure time, I enjoy socializing with friends and networking by meeting new people. My taste in music is wide-ranging, from Afro-beats and traditional Kikuyu music to reggae. I have a keen interest in learning about different cultures, their struggles, and their significance, as well as exploring a variety of cultural foods. Traveling is a passion of mine, and I have a growing interest in fashion.

​My favourite Kenyan dishes include Mukimo, Nyama Choma, Chapatti, and Samosa, to name a few. A primary driving force in my life has always been to see the growth and advancement of my people—something I firmly believe can be achieved through the success of this group.
