Personal Information

Biography: After over 20 years with Barclays in the UK and then in Zimbabwe and Egypt, my last position being CEO Barclays Egypt, I moved to run a banking group in Uganda and from there, in 2006, to the role of Africa Region MD for Opportunity International, a large Christian Microfinance Network with operations in 27 countries including 9 in Africa. I am based in Kampala, Uganda with my wife and 3 children and as should be clear by now, have no medical experience. I am delighted to join the team of Trustees and hope to bring an alternate but complimentary perspective to the great and necessary work they do in Uganda.
Main Job: Africa Region MD for Opportunity International

Cleft lips and palates

Why repair them?

Can’t suck - babies malnourished and fail to thrive;
some babies abandoned at birth;
some tribes have specific names for individuals with cleft - ‘Ojok; - cursed by God;
cleft children often don’t attend school - teased;
cleft adults can be rejected and do not marry.

The cost to repair 1 cleft lip and change a life: £50
