Change Isn’t Linear: Gladys Onyango, In Her Own Words

You’ve had a variety of roles from when you first joined Segal up to this point. Do tell us: how did you end up in MEL (monitoring and evaluation), safeguarding, and program learning? Thank you, Sylvia. I’ll talk about how I ended up at Segal. There was a brief period of time when I thought I wanted to be a scientist, but that passed very quickly. I knew deep in my heart that I always wanted to work with people, and so I gravitated towards social sciences. After college, I worked briefly in the development space, worked with HIV organizations, with children’s rights organizations, and ended up working in philanthropy in 2008. That was an interesting journey. I had a chance to work with a lot of human rights and social justice organizations that were eliminating the problems of the world and that were looking to hold governments accountable, pushing for transparency.  <a href="https://segalfamily.medium.com/change-isnt-linear-gladys-onyango-in-her-own-words-a277f5ab7102">Website</a>
