Stowelink Foundation is proud to celebrate a significant milestone in the professional journey of our Chief Programs Officer (CPO), who has officially graduated with a Master of Public Health (MPH) from The University of Manchester, United Kingdom, with Distinction.

This achievement represents more than an academic qualification—it reinforces Stowelink Foundation’s commitment to evidence-based leadership, strategic program design, and impactful public health action. As an organization working at the intersection of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), climate change, food systems, and health equity, strong technical leadership is essential to our mission.

The MPH training equips our CPO with advanced skills in epidemiology, health systems strengthening, policy analysis, and research translation. These competencies directly strengthen Stowelink’s ability to design scalable interventions, integrate robust monitoring and evaluation frameworks, and influence policy and advocacy efforts at national, regional, and global levels.

Beyond the academic achievement, this graduation reflects a journey shaped by personal experience and professional dedication. The loss of both parents to non-communicable diseases has deeply informed our CPO’s commitment to NCD prevention, early action, and community-centered public health solutions. This lived experience continues to guide Stowelink’s programming and advocacy, ensuring that our work remains grounded, responsive, and people-centered.

We also acknowledge and appreciate The University of Manchester and the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the UK for investing in leadership development that extends far beyond the individual and into the communities and systems we serve.

As Stowelink Foundation continues to expand its programs and partnerships, we are confident that this milestone will further strengthen our strategic direction, institutional capacity, and impact.

On behalf of the Board, staff, partners, and communities we serve, we extend our warmest congratulations to our Chief Programs Officer on this well-deserved achievement.

The journey continues—stronger, sharper, and more committed than ever to advancing public health and acting on non-communicable diseases.
