My names are Anastasia W Mwangi, a woman of Christian faith, a wife, mother of two young adult men and one adopted daughter. I am a guardian to tens of orphaned children and young adults in Kenya. My passion for giving back to the community has shaped me to become a humble philanthropist and a community development leader who has cherished and excelled in helping to create a better world for people around me with special interest in refugees, migrants, women, youth and children with disabilities in the last 36 years. (When we do the best that we can, we never know what miracle is wrought in our life, or in the life of another – Helen Keller)
I have gained wide international exposure from studying in six different countries. I hold a bachelor degree in Nursing, a bachelor of Arts in Youth Studies from Australian Universities. Other diploma qualifications are in rehabilitation, Social Leadership, rural & youth development that I studied in Boston, Philippines and Zambia respectively. I attended primary and high schools in Tanzania and Kenya. My stated multidisciplinary studies have helped me to enhance my critical thinking, efficient problem-solving and finding multiple solutions to challenges. Professionally, I have worked at senior managerial positions with numerous Non-Governmental Organisations in Kenya and mainly various Not-for-Profit Community Organisations in Melbourne. I am currently working part-time as Administration Director in Melbourne, Australia.
Politics has impacted my life immensely and I also have enthusiastically influenced the lives of others positively. I was privileged to be an international observer with United Nation during the transition from apartheid in South Africa to a non-racial democratic society when the late Mandela became the president. I also contested for Women Representative and Member of Parliament in Lamu County in 2013 & 2017 respectively. Having been a member of United Republican Party, I established Jubilee Party in Lamu West which I consider as great achievement to myself and the people of Lamu County. I am currently a strong supporter of United Democratic Alliance Party and a paid member of Amani National Congress Party.
