Being self-made is a mindset and belief that you can turn everything you have into something better and greater for yourself.Sometimes, all that you have is nothing, so you have to change that by having a vision for what you want for yourself and turn that vision into your reality. The perfect definition of being self-made is being able to realize that you have everything you need right in your hands, no matter how small it may seem. You have to know that you already have the power to change the world and make it a better place for yourself, your family and for the people around you

Growing up in Nigeria I have known malaria forever and experienced the disease countless times, so I understand how this disease robs so many children of their ability to go to school and why malaria is a major cause of school absenteeism. I have also lost many loved ones to malaria and that's why I'm here – because we can end one of the biggest, preventable killer diseases of all time.
