Ruth Gashegu
Co-Founder
Ruth doesn’t just connect the dots—she redraws them to create new possibilities. As the Co-Founder of Malaika Path, she channels her quiet determination and loud energy into transforming education for Africa’s youth. A storyteller at heart, she curates ideas through her blog, Hey Girl Today (https://medium.com/@heygirltoday), inspiring others to embrace resilience, growth, and the beauty of not giving up.
With a knack for digging deep into data and research, Ruth thrives on uncovering solutions that others might miss. Her calm demeanor might fool you, but beneath it lies a tenacious spirit that refuses to stop until challenges are met head-on. Whether strategizing for the future of education or finding innovative ways to empower her team, Ruth’s approach is as intentional as it is inspiring.
And when she’s not changing lives? She’s busy experimenting, exploring, and chasing the thrill of “what if”—proof that curiosity truly is her superpower.
