Prior to 2004 I had visited Kibera many times in my previous employment. Kibera had a profound effect on me and I saw the need for education and support for families living below the poverty line.  With the help of a few friends Women for Women in Africa began.

As owner of African Travel Specialists, a tour operator to Africa, and have been travelling there for over 30 years. I still guide safaris in East Africa, and heard about Women for Women in Africa five years ago.

I am a former teacher at Brighton Grammar School and former Head of its Junior School. Currently I am the Bequest Manager of Brighton Grammar School Development Office.

Tino first visited Kibera in 2012 through his involvement initially with Brighton Grammar School and then directly with WFWIA Foundation. He was initially asked to assist on the Management Board where he successfully co-chaired the Functions Committee and more recently on the Kitengela School Building Committee.
