Dedicating one's life to fighting for a cause is something many dream of, but few have the courage to do. Meet Sarah Brook, the woman who had a near-death experience at the age of 18, reshaping her life's purpose. Following an eye-opening incident during a private hospital visit in Malawi after falling ill, Sarah realised she received priority treatment over 300 other patients solely because of her race. This experience profoundly impacted her, leading her to dedicate her life to driving positive change and making a sustainable impact on the world. As the CEO and founder of The Sparkle Foundation, an NGO registered in the UK, Africa, and the Middle East, Sarah works tirelessly to create small-scale sustainable projects in Malawi, providing education, medical care, and nutrition to hundreds of orphans and vulnerable children. Recognised as one of the top CEOs in the UK Charity Sector, Sarah’s story and perspectives will inspire you, reminding us that even the smallest actions can ignite profound change. Tune in now to hear her journey!
