Michelle Kariuki is a very bright 16-year-old girl. She is among the top influential young ladies in the country thus the most admired especially amongst the teens. Just like her father the city millionaire, Michelle Kariuki has followed in his footsteps, changing the lives of many.

Unlike most of her age-mates who still don't have a vision for their future, Michelle Kariuki has already established what she wants to do at this tender age. She is the bright brains behind the biggest girl empowerment project in Kenya; Pink Gal Foundation.

Pink Gal Foundation  seeks to give girls a bright future by preparing them for international development opportunities. These areas range from education, maternal and child health, personal safety, security to economic and political empowerment. Michelle Kariuki, a form 6 student studying psychology/health and social care, has once again done something extraordinary which even most of our top politicians have never done.

Pink Gal Foundation (her project) will be launching the 100 libraries across African schools as from next week and is scheduled to take place soon and to be hosted by the Pink Gal Africa in conjunction with Book First. This has been received well with the public as she is the first teen to do this in the entire country. Pink Gal Africa is enthusiastically supporting education in Africa by providing: books, teaching supplies and Scholarships.
