Welcome to our new Treasurer and Trustee

We are delighted to welcome Firdouz Lambat ACMA, CGMA as Treasurer and Trustee for Children for Health.

Firdouz is a Chartered Global Management Accountant (ACMA, CGMA), holding a BSc (Hons) in Management Accounting from the University of Derby, England. She has spent over a decade turning complex finances into clear, honest pictures that leaders can act on. Her grounding in global health came at The Aurum Institute, where she spent five years managing multi-donor grants, from USAID, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the CDC, ranging from $20,000 to $77 million, ensuring every dollar was accounted for and every report told funders the truth about impact, ensuring strong financial accountability and transparent donor reporting. She now leads finance for Multimodal Logistics Solutions (Pty) Ltd and Afrilog Groupage Services (Pty) Ltd.

As Treasurer for Children for Health, Firdouz brings that same rigour and a personal conviction to the charity’s finances. Having worked closely with donor-funded health programmes for years, she has seen first-hand how sound financial governance helps ensure resources are used responsibly and effectively for the children and communities behind every grant. She sees her role not as a back-office function, but as part of the charity’s duty of care to the people it exists to serve.
