What do you do to turn around the effects of being malicious prosecuted? How do you rebuild the destroyed plan of your life and career? Teresa Njoroge had to answer these questions after her successful banking career ended due to being falsely accused of a fraudulent transaction and imprisonment. While in prison and from the pain point of view, she birthed a vision to restore dignity and hope to women and children impacted by the Kenyan criminal justice system and help them successfully integrate into society after leaving prison.
When Teresa left prison, she founded Clean Start to actualize the vision. As the CEO of this social enterprise, she shares her leadership approach to bringing change in the punitive criminal justice system and making it serve people better. Teresa is an enthusiastic, innovative, self-driven, systematic change and social entrepreneur with over 15 years of progressive experience in economic and social justice work. She is passionate about making a difference in the lives of prisoners, ex-prisoners, and their families, whom she loves dearly.
