Sarah Mukolwe was born in Kajiado county and raised in West Pokot -- two counties well known for their pastoralist activities. She experienced many of the challenges faced by pastoralists, especially disease pandemics that often wiped their stocks.
In the hope of understanding and providing solutions to these pandemics, Sarah became a researcher, focusing on emerging and re-emerging pests and parasites, diagnosing and treating diseases and developing vaccines.
