Save the Children is ramping up its global presence with the appointment of four new board members, including a Kenyan woman.
Teresa Mbagaya, a principal at impact investment firm Imaginable Futures, will join Rolake Akinkugbe-Filani from Nigeria, Deepak Kapoor from India, and Larry Kamener from the US, the Guardian reports.
They bring expertise in education, innovative financing, and climate emergencies to a board that now stands at 17, up from 14.
"The appointment of Teresa Mbagaya comes at a time when Save the Children, the world's first and leading independent children's organization, is launching an ambitious three-year strategy to accelerate and amplify its impact for and with children facing the greatest challenge to their rights in decades," says Angela Ahrendts, the nonprofit's first independent chair.
Mbagaya, who has an extensive background in education, youth development, and digital education transformation, "will further enrich our Board's ability to rapidly evolve and leverage our scale to triple our impact for children," Ahrendts says.
