ReGen Science Fund

Description

Pronouns: he/him/his Daliso Daka is a 21 year old Copperbelt University 3rd year medical student currently based in Ndola, Copperbelt Province. He is youngest in a family of 6 and was raised in Lusaka, Zambia where he attained his primary and secondary school education until 2016. From an early age, he has always been an inquisitive and passionate person about the natural sciences and technology. This prompted him to take up roles such as VP for the Zambia national school club Juniors Engineers, Technicians (JETS) and also volunteered as a librarian at an orphanage called the "Fountain of Hope". This has certainly continued in University as being one of the Co-founders of ReGen. Daliso strongly believes innovative technology coupled together with willpower and determination can improve the general health of not just Africa but also that of the world at large and I wish to be a part of something that does exactly that.
