About

It all started with a single call from a friend working for a non-profit organisation in Haiti. She told Gill, the Founder and Chairperson for Ten18 International, about a baby girl who had been abandoned at the local hospital in Les Cayes, Haiti.Unable to forget this call, Gill decided to make this “her problem” and sent money to feed the child for a year. Within a few days, she heard about 6 more hungry children.She learnt that in Haiti many children only had 1 or 2 meals a day. These meals often lacked proper nutrients. More so, she learnt that food was not provided to children in the hospital. Children that were abandoned or had no one to feed them, simply had to go hungry.Gill is a passionate and dedicated social entrepreneur. She is passionate about finding sustainable solutions to poverty and social entrepreneurship, seeing the captives set free and knowing the love of God.Gill has 3 wonderful children and a dog; and enjoys movies, reading, beach walks, holidays and learning the violin.
