Aluel Manyang is a medic with over four years of experience in day-to-day medical practice; laboratory investigation, diagnosis, treatment, community health, reproductive health, patient/client guidance, and counseling. While at the university in 2012, Aluel was crowned Miss Kenya Methodist University 2012/2013. In the same year, she was awarded the Model of The Year, 2013, by FAFA - Festival for Fashion and Arts. In 2014, Aluel completed her studies and returned to South Sudan, where she did a mandatory one-year internship to be certified as a Physician Assistant (PA). Shortly after completing her training, she got employed by International Medical Corps (IMC) and deployed to Maban. In Maban, she conducted a clinical practice for the Blue Nile and Nuba Mountains refugees.
In 2019, after four years in clinical practice, she took a break to evaluate her professional career and pursue her passion for fashion design. Aluel reckoned she had minimal influence in a fragile and rigid health system. She founded Ashes64, a women-led Fashion Design Company where she creates a fusion of contemporary fashion inspired by the rich and diverse traditions and cultures of South Sudan in 2019. Being passionate about community health, she and other like-minded colleagues registered an organization that does HIV awareness-raising among youth in South Sudan. Aluel supports Gender Talk 211 and Suk-Sukna Projects in various capacities.
