Inka studied human diversity, exploring societies, cultures and development. Then came an unexpected detour. Curious about the rapidly changing digital world, she pursued a master's degree in cyber ethics and briefly entered the technology sector. It did not take long to realize something was missing. "The focus was often on investors and profits," Inka recalls. "I wanted to be closer to people and the issues that matter." That search led her to the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) and ultimately, to Kenya.
