Who We Are

Meet Our Board of Trustees

At Quest for Education Foundation (QEF), our Board of Trustees is made up of diverse professionals from a range of industries, united by a shared commitment to transforming lives through education. From academia and business to finance, public service, and the armed forces, our trustees bring unique expertise and perspectives that strengthen QEF’s mission.

Despite their varied backgrounds, our trustees are bound by a common purpose: to empower disadvantaged children with access to quality education. They believe that education is not just a tool for personal development, but a catalyst for community upliftment and long-term societal change.

Together, they guide QEF with integrity, passion, and strategic vision, ensuring that every initiative we undertake is impactful, transparent, and aligned with our core values.
