Save the Children is ramping up its global presence with the appointment of four new board members, including a Kenyan woman.
Teresa Mbagaya, a principal at impact investment firm Imaginable Futures, will join Rolake Akinkugbe-Filani from Nigeria, Deepak Kapoor from India, and Larry Kamener from the US, the Guardian reports.
