The creator of the idea for Baho Neza Swe. Ann is a chiropractor and clown and has visited Rwanda during the autumn of 2018 with Clowns Without Borders to perform for those living in refugee camps. It was there that she first met Radjab and Mudi who are artists in Rwandan Acrobats. After visiting these refugee camps in Rwanda, the idea arose to create an organization to benefit vulnerable women in Rwanda. Thus Baho Neza Swe was created!

She is driven by work that promotes positive changes and where you can influence by raising awareness and therefore Pamela wants to be involved in building Baho Neza. She has a long experience of non-profit board work, mainly in various theatre associations and has also been involved in organizations that worked with fair trade.
