Education in Africa | Lennox Owino | TEDxUWMadison

Lennox Owino, a King Morgridge Fellowship Scholar and PACE Leadership Award recipient, is recognized for his engagement in education access in his hometown of Nairobi, Kenya. Mr. Owino believes that access to education is essentially to bridging the poverty gap in low income communities and works to represent the interests of international students on campus at the University of Wisconsin to ensure equal access to academic resources. Owino is a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He is among 6 young people from Africa and South East Asia who were awarded a King Morgridge Fellowship to the University of Wisconsin-Madison thanks to their individual efforts in poverty alleviation in their home countries. He was selected due to his engagement in bridging the education access gap in his home country, Kenya. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
