Reflections
Q1: Place
If we could do a flypast on any part of the world that is significant to you, which place, city or country would it be and why?
Karongi in Rwanda
Q2: Life
Give us a glimpse into your life story so far with an emphasis on what you are doing currently?
I grew up in a small mining town in Zimbabwe with the mining business providing opportunities to attend good schools and recreational opportunities. Parents initially could not afford for me to attend University so I became a teacher in a rural area where there was no energy or water or good transport links. It was shocking also to see that there was little motivation or vision for the young girls which was the foundations to the work I am doing today with Comaco. Empowering young girls, supporting women entrepreneurs and responding to the challenges of climate change.
Q3: Reset
Where on earth is your place or reset or re-charge?
I love hiking because I find that it allows me to block everything else out.
Q4: Wonder
What wonder of the natural world excites you the most?
Table Mountain in Cape Town
Q5: Hopefulness
What is your story of hopefulness (not your own) about a person, business or non-profit who are doing amazing things for the world?
Farm Africa is my story of hopefulness. "Effective agriculture has the power to change lives. It underpins prosperity, food security and stability the world over". Like Comaco they believe in the need to revitalise African agriculture, to break the mould which has often inhibited development and to find new, more effective strategies
