About Lily

Lily Muldoon served as Kenya Project Director for the Student Movement for Real Change (SMRC) from 2006-2009. She started a chapter of SMRC at Pomona College in California and served on the national Board of Directors for three years. Lily received a Fulbright Scholarship and raised $100,000 to carry out development initiatives in Kenya.

Lily’s leadership was the force behind the construction of 14 latrines (56 toilets), 20 hand washing stations, 1 primary school, 1 secondary school, (the community named another school Lily Bloom Secondary School in her honor), a water dam to provide 900 people access to water, and health and hygiene promotion workshops that involved 160 community members for 4 months of training. Lily's work included the largest Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) initiative to fight HIV/AIDS ever undertaken in the community.

Her writing and work has been featured in national media in Kenya and the United States, and she has published articles on water and drought in developing communities. Lily graduated cum laude from Pomona College with a degree in Public Policy Analysis with an emphasis in health and biology. She is now working as an EMT, coordinating health initiatives in Kenya and has plans to attend medical school in 2010.
