Rachel Turner
Rachel was born in and brought up near Oxford. Two years after qualifying as a mental health solicitor, in 2006 she spent almost a year in Uganda. There she volunteered at Sanyu Babies' Home, caring for the collective and individual needs of the children. She also provided technical assistance to the Uganda Law Society on human rights and good practice.
It was during her stay that James and Rachel decided to set up Mikwano.
Rachel now works for Cartwright King Solicitors in Nottingham. In her spare time she remains actively involved in the charity’s work. She returns to Uganda every year to help review current projects and research new ones.
