I do believe that doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment and that Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.

Nancy Sibo is from Rwanda. In 2014, Nancy was awarded Ms. Geek Rwanda 2014 for her development of the application Mobile Cow, an app to help farmers better manage their cattle for better production. She also founded Effect Initiative, which is a program that aims to empower farmers to integrate Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into their farm management to increase productivity and income level, as well as applying and promoting the Girl Effect approach for sustainable development. Nancy frequently travels to rural communities in southern and eastern Rwanda, teaching rural farmers techniques to improve their agricultural productivity and reduce poverty and malnutrition in rural areas. She completed her undergraduate studies in animal production at the University of Rwanda.
