Rangtiem is the 2nd of four of Kathryn Hauwa Hoomkwap’s children. She is currently a Lean coordinator at Parker Hannifin Cooperation in Falkoping Sweden. In 2006, she graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester NY with a Bachelor of Science and Masters in Engineering in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering.
As a child, she had a strong passion for helping the under-privileged, a passion which she deeply shared with her mother. This growing passion led to her decision in being a sponsor for the Christian Foundation for Children and Aging for 7 years. As a sponsor she took the responsibility of being a second mother to a Srilakan child by ensuring that she had all the resources she needed in order to get a good education.
Rangtiem’s goal is to find creative and effective ways to address every issue the KHH foundation is committed to. She believes that there is so much opportunity to do good for the people of Africa and the rest of the world and if we all live with the notion that we are all responsible for each other, the world would be a much better place. This is what Kathryn Hauwa Hoomkwap was about and passionately fought and lived her whole life for and continuing her work would be the greatest honor for Rangtiem.

This paper has deliberately chosen to make the family its center-piece for a number of reasons.
