Nkandu Beltz discovered from an early age that it's in these little acts of kindness that we each have the power to make a positive and lasting change in the world.
For over two decades, this passionate human rights activist has been a voice for the voiceless, and has found the courage to stand up for those who could not stand up for themselves - and yet she still has so much to give.
Growing up in Zambia, Nkandu was acutely aware of the social disparity she and many others faced. The injustice was overwhelming for the free-spirited young girl, and not something she could easily ignore. Encouraged by her father to stand up for what she believed in, Nkandu began petitioning for girl child rights. She was just ten years old.
Making change in the world is in everything she does. Whether she's mentoring young people, developing a new community program or raising awareness for important issues like HIV/AIDS and domestic violence, Nkandu is devoted to helping others live a better life.
Her incredible journey has led her across the globe to Australia, where she now lives with her husband and three children in country Victoria. It's here, supported by her family, that she continues her mission.
This social change-maker, philanthropist, speaker and author has been recognised for her work in community groups across cultures and in developing successful initiatives, such as the Youth Empowerment Program Australia (YEPA). Among her greatest accomplishments are the opportunities she's had to meet and interview a number of important social leaders, including his Holiness the Dalai Lama.
Though, for Nkandu, these achievements are all part of a bigger picture.
Inspired by her mother's determination to provide for her family in a tough economic climate, Nkandu believes that we all have the power make the best of any situation. Throughout life, we are confronted by our own set of challenges, but it is how we choose to act in these situations that leads us to greatness. The key is never giving up.
As a member of UN women, Nkandu is particularly passionate about empowering women with this message. After sharing her own personal experience facing up to social injustice in her book I Have The Power, Nkandu brings us Fierce & Fabulous.weniger sehen
