Edwina Taylor

CEO and Chair of CARD Europe

 

She was born in Lamko Yekepa, Liberia, in 1972. Having escaped the civil war, she lived in The Netherlands for 20 years and studied economics. Wishing to help her country rebuild, she established CARD Liberia in 2009. CARD Liberia has been doing projects within e.g. peacemaking, education and farming. See www.cardliberia.org for more information.

 

Having expanded her European basis to several countries, she realised that she could help her country even more with a European based organisation. Hence CARD Europe was established in Norway in 2013. CARD Europe is mainly intended as a fundraising organisation for the CARD Liberia projects.
