Our people
The passion and drive among our people are the root of everything we do. We believe that everything rises and falls on leadership hence our commitment in nurturing and developing girls and women to leadership roles. Therefore, most of our people come from the same communities and share similar backgrounds to the individuals we support.

Important new research here - 75% of migrants surveyed say they struggled to pay for food during the pandemic.
