Lou Billett, the co-founder of African Angels, was named the 2019 Social Entrepreneur of the Year on Saturday 29 July at the prestigious East London Business Women’s Awards ceremony in East London.
Lou leads an incredible team of teachers and support staff at the African Angels Independent School, who deliver quality education to over 130 disadvantaged children from Chintsa, day in and day out. Your support of African Angels is acknowledged by this important award, and whilst it does not provide monetary gain for African Angels, the recognition of the work being done at African Angels is just as important.
Thank you for being part of our global African Angels family, that allows us to change the lives of children in Chintsa East, and give hope to parents that their children's futures will be better.
"Put very simply, hope is the firm belief that things will be better in the future than they are now.... Hope is a doing word." (Kim van Kets, 2019)
We believe that our children's futures will be better than they are now because of the education they receive at the school. Hope IS a doing word. We are privileged to work every day so that our parents, and children, can have hope.
