Pamela Iweze was born in 1980 in Lagos into a family of seven. She is a proud mother of two lovely children.

Her father, a Major General in the Nigerian Army served in different parts of Nigeria. Her father’s military assignments across the country provided opportunities for Pamela and her siblings to experience the different Nigerian cultures. She had her primary and secondary education side by side the education of knowing most of the country at an early age. 

She obtained her LLB in law at the University of Ado – Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. She worked briefly in administrative roles in Nigeria before moving to the United Kingdom. In the United Kingdom, her love for children and education took her to the prestigious University of East London. There, she graduated with a 2:1 degree in Early Childhood Studies. 

In the UK, she worked in the private sector before moving to the public sector. She worked as an Executive Assistant in multinational organisations such as Mckinsey, Barclays and Deutsche bank. 

At the public sector, she worked in Action for Children, Cancer Research UK and the Health Sector providing excellent support to Children and the Elderly. She did this excellently at National Health Service NHS. Over the years she has attained several leadership positions where she developed capacity in leadership and management. She is a Community Health Care Professional that is passionate about Health Care Support. She is also passionate about teaching and Early Childhood learning. 

She has put this passion into so many volunteer activities like the Magpie Project, New-Addington Volunteers and PTA Chairperson for two years at the Good Shepherd Catholic Primary School in London. For the Magpie Project, she volunteered as a Playgroup Helper alongside other professionals supporting and encouraging learning through play and teaching. 

In her capacity as PTA Chairperson at the Good Shepherd Catholic Primary School, she worked with teachers and planning Heads of committees to create fun projects with the sole intent to raise funds to support school projects. She worked with heads of units and teachers to coordinate volunteer assignments to support students and teachers as well as coordinate volunteer assignments. She also collaborated with other board members of the PTA to assess and identify how parents/guardians and community members can get involved as volunteers to support the efforts of schools at raising future leaders of the community.

Pamela believes that no one is born a change-maker. It’s something you become when you see a problem, and then dare to become part of the solution. This is how change happens. With bravery, hope, commitment—and the knowledge that progress only comes when we become the solution.
