Biography
Nelson Khozomba studied for a Masters in Public Health Management and Leadership at the University of Sheffield from 2012 to 2013.Nelson Khozomba’s work has enabled more than a hundred people in Malawi to access nursing education and health services, significantly impacting their lives. He believes that even small contributions can bring change and a smile to someone’s face. As a Programs Manager at the Global AIDS Interfaith Alliance, he has been instrumental in providing health services to an average of 280,000 people annually. He is also involved in an initiative that offers new scholarships for underprivileged youths, something he finds particularly rewarding.
He is passionate about bringing health and social services closer to people, where about 80 per cent of the population have no health insurance. By providing technical support and lead in resource mobilisation, the organisation has a dedicated team of health workers providing health services and support to orphans and vulnerable children with scholarships for secondary education and nursing. To ensure the supported scholars cultivate a culture of giving back to society, the organisation provides smaller grants to enable alums to implement an improvement project that alleviates suffering and brings hope to the hopeless.
