Dr. Melissa Fischer grew up in the rural countryside of Missouri and understands the cycle of poverty that can afflict those who do not have access to education and opportunity. As a recipient of generous aid for her own education, she is passionate about empowering the Kenyan people to succeed and thrive in their homeland in the same manner.
A foundational underpinning of success is education, but everyone must have access to clean water, sustainable food sources, medical care and sanitary supplies to ensure educational achievement. To this end, the group is concentrating efforts to ensure all Kenyans have access to all tools needed for education.
Dr. Fischer received her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Missouri-Columbia in 1996.
She is married to Bill Fischer and they have two daughters, Ashley and Ariana. They reside in St. Peters, Missouri with their four dogs.
