Dr. Karambu Ringera is a regenerative development leader working at the intersection of peace-building, women’s rights, poverty eradication, community empowerment, grassroots organising, health campaigning and food sovereignty.
Born and raised in Kenya, she studied intercultural communication, Media and Theology in the US and South Africa. Bridging academia and practice, Karambu now teaches at the University of Nairobi while leading place-based development initiatives in Meru, Kenya.
