An introduction to our new director
Earlier this week, we were delighted to welcome our new Operations Director, Elisafi Wilson, to our Board. He will assist with our drive to take Foot2Afrika and its project forward using his project management knowledge and experience.

Elisafi’s appointment will allow us to expand our knowledge base and expertise. As an experienced project manager and marketing with Fellowship Status of the Leadership, Elisafi has an excellent knowledge base in the delivery of a quality management operation whilst only utilising best management practice and embracing the highest moral and ethical standards. He has over twelve years experience, working within local communities. His efforts and experience resulted in a regional consultancy becoming the sales and marketing leader. He joined one of the largest company in the country where he oversaw the marketing and branding of new iconical east African roofing products to be voted a superbrand. Elisafi joins us as we look to inject some further experience into our operational & management division. His appointment will enable us to develop a better quality of communication with our partners and supporters.

Elisafi is delighted to join the board at Foot2Afrika, “This really is a fantastic opportunity for me. I buy into the ambitions that Foot2Afrika has for the community, and I am looking forward to sharing thoughts and ideas with the board so that we can continue to improve the service we provide. The Technical & Professional side of the operational is an area we are very keen to grow, and I will be heavily involved in all aspects of the development.”

Foot2Afrika’s Board Director, Kenny Makyao is very pleased that Elisafi has decided to join the team, “Elisafi’s appointment is a big part of our growth initiative. As an organisation, we are always looking to develop our core areas and improve the service we can offer both community we save and partners, and Elisafi will play a pivotal role in this. He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge which we all look forward to tapping into. We are very much looking at the potential we have to develop our operational & management division. We now have our first contracted director with some extensive knowledge on operation, marketing as well as management.

Yesterday on Giving Tuesday we received $1,150. Thanks so much to everyone who gave (and to those who had given already). Today is "Oops I forgot to give yesterday" Wednesday! You can still give, it's okay! We're in striking distance of our goal. If you haven't yet given to support a Tumona student's education, please give now.
