Simon Guillebaud

Author, speaker, social entrepreneur, family man, cyclist and charity founder, Simon Guillebaud had a very clear call to Burundi in 1999, when it was regarded as the most dangerous country on earth. Having unexpectedly survived 7 years of genocide and civil war, he set up Great Lakes Outreach (GLO) with the vision to transform Burundi and beyond through holistic mission, working with gifted local leaders of integrity. Now married with three children, he and his wife Lizzie have both been awarded an MBE for their services to Burundi.
