Milka Murunga

Kenya & University of Cape Town, 2026

Milka is a certified accountant and auditor from Kenya, combining a strong foundation in finance with a passion for social impact. She volunteers to improve literacy among children, supports animal welfare initiatives, and participates in environmental cleanups in her community.

Her work with grassroots organizations in Central and Northern Kenya, particularly in HIV/AIDS prevention and early treatment programs, has deepened her understanding of how finance and policy intersect to drive social change.

An advocate for education and equitable opportunity, Milka aspires to work in policy and NGOs, focusing on initiatives that expand access to education and empower marginalized communities. She believes in the power of collective action and effective resource mobilisation to create sustainable impact.

Outside her professional and volunteer commitments, Milka enjoys hiking with her two dogs, crocheting, painting, reading, writing, and spending time with her three cats and two dogs, finding joy in both outdoor adventures and quiet moments at home.
