Young people are the future. That’s why the mission of KIYO is appealing to me. Empowerment is key so that youth can have a voice in the actual debate on global challenges. 

I am very charmed by the direction the organisation is taking. Decolonisation, shared power, knowledge sharing and a horizontal network structure are the ingredients for a forward-looking NGO. I am not so young myself. I have worked for Rikolto for many years in different roles. I’m happy that I can share my lifetime experience. I’m also eager to learn from KIYO.

Happy to be a new member of the Board since June 2023.
