2024 Impact Report

A letter from our executive director

As we celebrate our 20th anniversary in 2024, we reflect on two decades of incredible growth and impact, sparked by the shared vision of Gail Wagner and Dan Ogola to provide accessible, quality healthcare in rural Kenya. We also launched a new era of growth for the partnership.

Tiba’s third decade begins with a change in board leadership as Gail steps down from the presidency, while continuing as a board member leading our growing cervical and breast cancer initiatives. Bill Plautz, a retired ER and Lifestyle Medicine Physician, and a long-time board member, major donor, and volunteer for 14 years, has stepped up to the board’s helm, with Rhiana Menen, a breast surgery specialist and Boda Girls enthusiast, as Vice-President. Arne Wagner continues as Secretary-Treasurer. Norma Bozzini, one of the founding board members, has transitioned to Tiba’s advisory board. We are truly grateful for her years of commitment and service!

This report shares some new opportunities for growth that we are exploring—opportunities that will take time and dedication to fully develop. We could not be here without the unwavering support of our partners, volunteers, and donors, and we humbly request your continued support as we start this exciting new decade!

With gratitude,

Diane Dodge
