Editor Asaba

Editor Asaba iwas appointed NOTDEC Uganda's Director in October 2023 on Canon Jehoshaphat's retirement.

Her educational back-story is interesting.  Editor trained first as a secondary school teacher and taught for 5 years.  She then went to Uganda Christian University, Mukono, to do a degree in Community Leadership & Development followed by a certificate in Administrative Law.  When she became NOTDEC's Director, she was completing a Master’s in Project Planning.  With this background, it is no surprise that Editor has moved to improve staff training at NOTDEC Uganda - developing better trained staff to deliver better outcomes for the children in our care.

Editor's career progression has been as follows:

• 2003-2008 Vocational Secondary School teacher
• 2012-2015 Community Integrated Development Initiatives –  improving early Reading by supportive schooling, and reducing gender-based violence.
• 2015-18 Foundation for Urban & Rural Advancement - Youth in Action project managing a £220K pa budget for partner-implemented activities.
• 2018-23 Save the Children – most recently in Kasese as Programs Officer for Education & Child Protection in Enabling Teacher project.

So it’s been children, rural/community development, money, and children again! 

We pray that the Lord will guide all she does as NOTDEC's Director.
