First field trip in Tanzania 🇹🇿 I saw Shule Bora (“quality school”) at work - inclusive classrooms, clean cookstoves, kitchen gardens.
Parents said they’re proud to contribute to school feeding, knowing their kids will get quality food on time.
Real change happens when communities lead.

Settling into Dar means lots of new discoveries. For me, it’s colleagues and cooperation. For her, it’s waves and seashells. Both remind me why protecting our environment matters. 🌴

Next stop: Tanzania. 🇹🇿
A new adventure, a new language, and a whole new set of birds to discover.
From Murakoze cyane to Asante sana, not goodbye, but tuzongera duhure… or rather, tutakutana tena. 🌍

There were hard moments too, health challenges, time apart, the bittersweet side of expat life. But Rwanda brought healing, growth and grace.

Beyond the day job, Rwanda gave our family so much: misty volcanoes, birdsong mornings, deep friendships, and community. Our daughter learnt to swim here. My husband fell for the wildlife, and photographed half the birds in the country! 🐦✨

From climate finance to social protection, governance to innovation, it’s been a privilege to walk alongside Rwanda’s development journey. A reminder that partnership can thrive, even in tough global times.

After four unforgettable years, it’s time to say goodbye to Rwanda. A country of resilience, beauty, and ambition. It’s shaped me deeply, both professionally and personally.

Soaking up every moment on our last day in Madagascar.
Wildlife, wonder, and just the reset I needed before final goodbyes and handovers in Kigali.

✨ Chameleons, lemurs, stars. My daughter whispers “wow” in my ear. My husband saves me from slipping over a log! Madagascar feels otherworldly — and I wouldn’t want to see it with anyone but them.

Two years since chemo.
Still on the meds,
still looking for silver linings,
still thinking of all those in the thick of it.

The first of a few leaving parties today — this one for Charlie, to help her say goodbye to good friends and great times. It was such a whirlwind of cake, chaos and cuddles we only managed one photo (of the cake, obviously).
Less than two months to go… the countdown is real!

Social protection works. In Northern Province today, I met mums feeding babies better, parents funding education, families building livelihoods. With UK support since 2008, Rwanda’s investing in its future—one generation at a time.

Volunteering has always been a powerful way for me to connect with what matters—conservation, communities, and creating impact.
A privilege to open VSO’s workshop today in Rwanda. Participants from across Africa and Asia will share learning on active citizenship 🌍🤝

A few days to unwind —walking among giraffes, soaking in the beauty of nature, and feeling the world slow down. Nothing quite like a safari on foot to remind you of the magic of the wild.

Now to find a good spot for this Cordia Africana sapling and leave our own small mark. #LegacyTreeProject

Just back in Rwanda after a week in London—juggling medical check-ups and treatments with a whirlwind of family time, museums, and LEGO/Harry Potter shops! Grateful, as always, to have Will by my side. Always thankful for the NHS.

Last night, we celebrated our work on climate and the environment, providing a space to foster collaboration🇬🇧🌍
I shared how my passion grew from spending time in nature as a child—learning its power to connect and inspire. Living in 🇷🇼 has elevated that passion to new heights!

Two years since my mastectomy. Physical healing came quickly, chemo was tough, but adjusting to the lasting effects of hormone therapy has taken the longest.
Now reflecting on the link between prior stress and my #cancer diagnosis, and the need to ensure balance and self-care ❤️
