International Director of Abbas Heart, Linda Nisley
Meet Linda, the heart and soul of Abbas Heart. Her journey with us began when she was deeply connected to Kenya through an orphanage project that no longer needed her. But rather than walking away, Linda followed her passion and came to us at ground level. Alongside the founders, Roy and Martha, she helped build Abbas Heart and the close-knit family we are today.
Linda now splits her time between Kenya and home, and she's fully immersed in the culture, adapting with grace and respect. Her independence and determination are truly remarkable—she’s the type of person who gets things done, no matter the challenge. She’s relentlessly dedicated to ensuring the children in our care have the education, protection, and support they need to grow into confident, capable adults.
The children call her "Auntie," a testament to the deep, personal connection she shares with them. And those in the ministry affectionately refer to her as "Linda Linda"—a reflection of the warmth and respect she’s earned from everyone she touches.
Her love for the children and her belief in their potential shines through every day. Linda is not just a leader; she’s a true force of change!
