About Us

I joined Eagles because of my passion for social justice. I care deeply about the poor and under-privileged. That’s why I am doing the work I do. I enjoy my work most when I see change happening in the poor people we are helping, when we make a real difference in someone’s life, when we manage to put a smile back on someone who was needy and couldn't afford a smile. The biggest challenges I face are the pressure of work, ensuring the most important things get done and lack of resources. I fail many times but I do not give up. I keep learning and trying to improve all the time. I am married to a lovely lady called Charity. She is a banker, working with Standard Bank. We have four children - Caroline, Joshua, Wezi, and Watipaso.

I came to Eagles just to help out at the start. I had my own business and a family to feed, so I was reluctant to work there full-time. But when I prayed I felt real excitement about the work and being part of the team. I love people, especially working with the vulnerable. I enjoy challenging, inspiring and encouraging local leaders to help the poor. My biggest challenge is that the work is so big. It is hard to visit all the places where we are needed. I don’t have much time to rest, even at weekends. My wife, Nancy, runs a grocery stall. We have two boys and a girl: Orton, Blessing and Theodora.

I joined Eagles because of my passion for the less privileged. All my life I have grown up seeing people building mansions, buying expensive materials YET just after a few years, all those become boring, old fashioned and unsatisfying. But the joy, peace and satisfaction that comes after helping someone or building someone's life remains forever. This is what motivates me.

I most enjoy bringing a smile on someone's face, building hope and becoming a solution his/her life (or helping someone find a solution). One challenge we have is the presence of different NGOs which use conflicting approaches thereby confusing the communities further.

I am an environmental scientist. For me it’s about programmes that touch lives, where you actually see the transformation. As long as we are changing lives I want to be part of that team. Working with rural communities – that is awesome. I enjoy compiling evidence of real change— seeing us making a difference. But as my colleagues will also tell you, I love graphs—I think in graphs and I speak in graphs! I get very concerned when we are not meeting our targets...when things do not go as planned. I find it challenging when I have to chase our field officers for information. I have a lovely wife Ruth who works in the Ministry of Agriculture. We married in 2009. We have two children: Joel and Deborah.

I joined Eagles because I am passionate about what it is doing — I see us make a difference in people’s lives. I believe God called me.I love spending time with people in the villages, discussing their issues together, getting confused together, finding solutions together and then celebrating together. The biggest challenge I face is when I find that injustice just stands in people’s way. Some situations look impossible and you have to go a long way to find the answers. I have a wife, Florence, and three children: Lumbani, Walinasi and Walisungu. We are always discussing Eagles’ issues—my family works for Eagles!
