Where the Shoe Hurts
Where the Shoe Hurts challenges us to see the struggles of the people in underserved communities, not from the comfort of boardrooms or conference halls, but from the very places where the shoe truly hurts. It is an invitation to walk in the shoes of the people, to listen deeply, and to take action where it matters most.
The book takes readers beyond statistics and policies into lived human experiences. It blends field stories from rural villages with reflections on leadership, resilience, and the untold power of ordinary people confronting extraordinary challenges.

In 2008, at just eight years old, Esther was recognized with the Kind-Hearted Award by Hakda International School in Kaduna, Nigeria. Nominated first by her peers and later selected across the entire school, she went on to receive the state-level honor at Bambinos Amusement Park, celebrated for her compassion and generosity of spirit. This early recognition foreshadowed the life of service and advocacy she continues to lead today.
