CNN once referred to Caroline Mutoko as a firebrand and she has lived up to that definition in everything she does. At 25 she was a trail blazing female radio anchor, the first of her kind - at 28 she was running the radio station.

Caroline Mutoko is a pioneer in many areas. She thrives in the vortex of creativity and breaking barriers. She lives for the challenge of doing what many like to say can't be done - in life, love and work. The ability to push boundaries, establish a new normal and make it work, is something she loves to do and she does it well. She is a philanthropist who believes in sustainability and focuses her efforts in the areas of education for all children and empowering women. 

She claims SDG No.5 as her very own.
