Laura NZiRimu
Laura Nzirimu was born and raised in the Portland metro area. With a degree in Human Services from Bethel University in Minnesota, Laura began her career in international nonprofits that focus on caring for vulnerable children, primarily in East Africa.
Laura most recently provided best practices through research for faith-based organizations serving vulnerable children and families. After eight years of serving international nonprofits, Laura wanted to make the shift to working at a local and national level. This led her to the Luis Palau Association.

Laura still has a passion for vulnerable children. Her husband, Jeje, who is from Uganda and she enjoy traveling, reading, and making the perfect cup of chai tea together.
