Tania has since become an advocate for social change through various roles, having made a career switch from the corporate to the charity sector. Over the past 15 years, she's worked for social enterprises and charities focused on helping underprivileged people all over the world, from developing and implementing youth and health programmes to fundraising for several causes.

Rachel Agwu, BSc. | Operations Coordinator
Rachel is our Operations Coordinator, responsible for coordinating administrative duties and operations. Rachel got diagnosed with young-onset Parkinson’s disease in 2020, at the age of 32. As an African impacted by Parkinson’s disease (PD), Rachel understands and has experienced the heavy burden of stigma that is often associated with an illness like PD across different parts of Africa; and the inequities in access to proper healthcare and treatment options across the region. The experiences have led her to become a passionate Parkinson’s disease advocate. Outside of championing the needs of Africans whose lives have also been impacted by this disease, Rachel enjoys visual storytelling. She hopes to inspire people to live their best lives, in spite of whatever challenges they may be facing.
