Estelle grew up in South Africa, where she had the benefit of getting a good education in a system where the majority of children were excluded from this opportunity. She had the privilege to study and now work as a physiotherapist, which has contributed to the desire to alleviate suffering for people in pain physically, emotionally or socially. She is passionate about improving health and education in situations where poverty is great and children and communities are suffering through no fault of their own.  It is a privilege to connect with people in different cultures from India, South Africa and Haiti, to learn from them and come alongside what good is already being done on the ground. With a great group of team members, who each contribute different talents, CHILD can lend a helping hand more effectively than any one person could do on their own. Estelle is so grateful for the support of her husband and their four children in this endeavour.
