Testimonials
Janet Onyango
Participating in the design thinking program at USIU was a game-changer for me. It provided a safe space where I could share my ideas without fear of judgment. Working alongside two individuals who shared similar interests and aspirations, we embarked on a journey of discovery and innovation.
Through the various stages of design thinking, we were able to develop a revolutionary project called Mafuta Okoa, which is an affordable biofuel solution.
