About Us

Our Founders

Anastasia Terta – CEO & Co-founder

Anastasia is the epitome of servant leadership that Jesus spoke about. Having a burden to see poor, marginalized children fulfil their dreams of becoming doctors, pilots and engineers, she left her lucrative corporate career and retreated to Enkorika village to start the Royal Diadem School, an affiliate of The Diadem Foundation, that has supported the access to education of hundreds of school children from the remote parts of Kajiado. Anastasia’s education and professional background has given her access to serve in various administrative capacities in several organizations where she left a footprint of excellence and positive impact. Besides her influence in the corporate arena, Anastasia is equally well recognized in the religious and political circles of Kajiado and beyond and is known for her zeal for prayer, astute leadership skills and passion to empower women and youth. Anastasia is a woman of sheer determination and resilience determined to leave the world a better place than she found it.
