Meet The Team

Dr. David Bulindah, Co-Founder President of Wakulima USA. I was born in Nakuru, Kenya and migrated to the USA in 2000. Dr. Bulindah recently received an Honorary Doctorate in Conflict Resolution Management and has two Master's Degrees in Pastoral Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Organizational Strategic Leadership, As President I lead the Wakulima team and help our programs run smoothly. I enjoy theater arts, research and travel.

I am a community healer, nonprofit strategist, and visionary leader committed to advancing food sovereignty, health equity, and economic opportunity. As Operations Director at Wakulima USA, I lead organizational operations, strategic partnerships, and community-centered initiatives that support immigrant, refugee, and underserved communities. Drawing from my lived experience and passion for service, I work to build sustainable programs, strengthen community connections, and create pathways for individuals and families to thrive. I am especially passionate about empowering youth and young adults through leadership development, wellness initiatives, and access to opportunities that foster growth, resilience, and self-determination. I believe that when communities have access to resources, culturally relevant support, and meaningful opportunities, they can transform challenges into lasting growth and resilience. My love for farming and food sovereignty is deeply connected to my commitment to community wellness. As a vegetarian and passionate gardener, I believe access to nutritious and culturally relevant foods is essential to improving physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Through my work, I help create programs and partnerships that strengthen food access, promote wellness, and build healthier communities. Beyond my professional work, I enjoy podcasting, traveling, and experiencing new cultures and adventures. I am passionate about theatre, poetry, photography, and lifelong learning. I believe the world is our shared home, and I am dedicated to creating spaces where people can heal, grow, and thrive while building stronger communities for future generations.

At Wakulima USA, I serve as the Program Supervisor for the Connect Pierce Community Hub Program powered by Elevate Health. In this role, I help make sure our community members get the support they need through the Connect Pierce Community Hub program. I guide our team of Community-Based Workers, making sure clients are connected to resources and services like food, health care, dental and mental health support. I oversee the coordination and quality of services provided by Community-Based Workers (CBWs), ensuring that clients receive timely, comprehensive, and person-centered care. My work helps ensure clients are actively engaged, supported, and connected to vital resources. Outside of work, I coach youth soccer, creating a safe and fun space for young people to stay active, build confidence, and grow as leaders on and off the field.

I am a compassionate and people-centered community-based worker dedicated to supporting individuals and communities through active listening, empathy, and practical assistance. With a strong focus on clear communication and building trust, I strive to make services accessible and ensure everyone feels heard, valued, and empowered.

I have a deep commitment to community support and empowerment. As a Community-Based Worker, I provide hands-on assistance to individuals and families, helping them access vital services, navigate systems, and feel supported every step of the way. I’m passionate about building connections, creating safe spaces, and fostering growth through collaboration. For me, this work isn’t just a job, it’s a way to uplift others and strengthen the communities we all belong to.
