Board
Chairwoman – Lisa Habel
I had the idea for the club. Through my stays in Kenya, I know the country and its people very well. I now have two godchildren in Kenya, one of whom is even named after me. I studied non-profit, social and health management and am therefore not only passionate about it, but also contribute my specialist knowledge. In my free time, I like to be out in nature with my friends or to read a book. But what I love best is traveling and getting to know new countries and cultures.

Chairperson deputy – Annalena Praxmarer
Hello, I'm Annalena and I come from the beautiful Tyrolean Oberland. I've known Lisa since she was a young girl at school, so over the years I've been able to see her growing passion for the country of Kenya. When she told me about her idea for the association "Milele - Future for Kenya", she immediately grabbed me with her passion and I am now happy to be a part of it. In my free time, I like to be out and about in the mountains, whether in summer or winter. But also traveling, especially to distant destinations, is a great passion of mine.

Cashier – Birgit Schmidt
My name is Birgit Schmidt, I am married and have 2 daughters (1 by marriage, 1 of my own). I live in Fulpmes and came to the association on the initiative of my godchild Lisa Habel. Since I love my job (accounting/payroll accounting/office work) very much, I am happy to contribute my knowledge to the association as a cashier. Because of my love of travel, I have seen quite a bit of the world and feel that we should share our abundance with the world's poor.

Deputy Treasurer – Magdalena Habel
I joined the "Milele - Future for Kenya" association because the chairman, Lisa, is my cousin. I've been on the board of another club for a few years and can bring the experience I've gained here to my new job. I am looking forward to the exciting and challenging task that I have been given at the club. I am currently studying microbiology and I hope one day to be able to contribute my know-how here as well. My hobbies include playing music in a band, traveling and baking.

Secretary – Lisa Stöckl
Two years ago I wanted to travel to Kenya to do volunteer work there. Lisa supported me with the planning and reported on her experiences of Africa and volunteer work. Unfortunately, due to the corona pandemic, I was not able to fly to Kenya, so I was all the happier when I heard about Lisa's idea of founding the association. I was hooked right away and would be very happy about a club trip to Kenya. In addition to my voluntary work in the refugee and asylum sector, I like to go swimming in my free time or travel with friends. The best way for me to relax is with a good book, baking cakes, embroidering or painting watercolors.

Deputy Secretary – Alina Köll
My name is Alina and I live with my fiancé and my two cats at the entrance to the Ötztal. When Lisa asked me if I would like to be part of the "Association Milele - Future for Kenya", I felt very honored. I was immediately enthusiastic about the idea and am more than willing to put diligence and work into this project to help people.
