Fiona is a UnitingWorld assisted volunteer from Port Lincoln, South Australia. She has been working with our partner, the United Church of Zambia, since September 2004. Fiona’s passion for the people of Mwandi developed after she first visited the area in her early 20’s. Since that time she has been compelled to help the community. On Australia Day 2009 Fiona received an Australian Member to the Order of Australia for starting and co-ordinating the Orphans and Vulnerable Children project in Zambia.

Fiona works with orphans and vulnerable children who have been affected by HIV/AIDS in Mwandi, Zambia. As the full time Project Coordinator, she manages a drop in centre where more than 231 orphans aged from six months to 15 years are provided with one nourishing meal every day.

The greatest thing for Fiona is seeing the children laugh and smile, putting on weight and getting healthier, having clothes to wear and being warm when its cold.
