Olivia Zane
Director of Strategic Partnerships
Livs joined UWS in 2018, having made the move from a national healthcare charity.
A dynamic fundraising professional with over a decade of experience driving impactful change, Livs now leads on our Strategic Partnerships portfolio at UWS – raising the profile and visibility of our work, while securing transformative funds and forging high-value NGO partnerships. Passionate about creating sustainable impact, she excels in navigating complex global landscapes to amplify UWS’ organisational reach and influence.
I am part of UWS because:
Without an education children don’t have the dignity of choice, they do not get the chance to explore their potential and participate fully in the world around them. I cannot picture my life today if I had never been to school. I doubt I would have even been able to dream about the life I have now if it wasn’t for the imagination and opportunities that an education gave me. UWS has a compelling and effective model, placing community and local level partnership at its very heart. It is a model I truly believe in and we have the most inspiring and passionate team working to deliver it.
