Meet the Staff
A little background about me - in my early twenties, I worked in Southern Sudan, an experience that transformed my view of the world and laid the foundation for everything that I have done since. I have experience of leading a number of different charities, most of them Christian with a cross cultural focus. Over the last year I had been asking God to guide my next steps and when I saw the Project Possible CEO role advertised I knew, without hesitation, that I should apply. I am looking forward to getting to know you – our valued and loyal supporters.
Debbie works closely with our partners and is responsible for ensuring that our projects are developed in line with Project Possible’s mission. She uses her project management skills to maintain financial accountability and a focus on measuring and evaluating impact. Debbie grew up in Peru and is fluent in Spanish. She has many years’ experience working in Peru in the fields of education, discipleship and micro-enterprise and on her return to the UK she managed a healthcare partnerships programme in sub-Saharan Africa. Her spark comes from her experience of living between Peru and UK. She loves to immerse herself in other people’s worlds and is enthusiastic about building diverse multi-cultural partnerships, strongly committed to creating sustainable opportunities, so that a person can live a dignified life.
Amos works closely with our partners, building strong relationships and coaching them in their project design, delivery and reporting with a focus on achieving sustainable outcomes.
Amos grew up in Chad and is fluent in French and seven Chadian languages. He has many years’ experience working in the fields of Bible Translation, literacy, and community health programmes. He is recognised in the Chadian evangelical church, as a leader with a passion for encouraging local church communities to use local resources to achieve holistic mission. From a young age Amos has a desire that every person has the dignity of self-sufficiency. He cites his mother as being his spark, striving to farm her land and provide for the family with dignity, after his father died when Amos was 5 years old.
Wendy has been with the charity for over 10 years and as a result knows our supporters very well. She has many years’ prior experience in administration and enjoys applying her skills in running the operational aspects of the charity. Wendy is an expert in detail and her spark is to ensure we are as effective administratively as possible to ensure real and lasting change is brought to those we support. She loves to hear the changes brought about in lives and communities as a result of our work.
Bringing a wealth of experience as a qualified accountant, Natasha ensures that the monies raised are used to achieve long-term sustainability to the projects supported. Natasha’s spark has always been about the individual stories from our partners – someone having an opportunity, being able to do something for the first time, a girl who is given the chance of an education or a woman setting up a business. She is inspired by the bravery of the people supported and is encouraged that playing her part in Project Possible impacts so many lives.
As our Trusts and Communications Manager, Jess seeks to share the inspiring stories of transformation and raise funds to help continue the impactful work of our international partners. With an educational background in Sociology, her spark is seeing our projects address significant social issues and knowing we are making lasting change in communities across the world. She loves to hear the updates from our partners and knowing her skills are making a difference.
Emily supports the Projects Team by drawing out insights that help us build a strong approach to sustaining impact. Emily has several years' experience working in Kenya in community development projects. She is inspired by community leaders who are working creatively to address the challenges in their communities. Her spark is hearing their stories and standing in solidarity with them.
Marina supports the Marketing and Fundraising team by helping deliver fundraising campaigns and initiatives that will continue to fund the important work of our international partners. Having lived in four different countries as a refugee, Marina has first-hand experience on how a simple opportunity can significantly change a person’s life for the better. She has several years of experience working as a teacher, and her spark is seeing the power of education transform the lives of disadvantaged people all over the world.
