Our Team 

 

Yolande Tychus-Lawson 

Jordan Mission is the brainchild of the founder, Yolande Tychus-Lawson, who realised whilst pursuing a Master’s degree in International Economic Law, Justice & Development at the University of London, the significance of providing support to assist underprivileged individuals to fulfil their full potential. She was convinced that justice is particularly important for development, as it is essential for the legality of regimes, good governance, respect for human rights, and the fight against poverty.  

 

According to her, no one is “poor”, as everyone is unique with great potential, which together will have a mighty influence in the world. Hence, she actively encourages everyone to build each other up. 

 

Yolande's daily activities are centred on supporting the homeless young adults to integrate into a society and to fulfil their full potential.

Our Trustees

 

Bijal Gajjar

Bijal is currently working as IT Principal Audit with M&G Plc (London). She is delighted to be working with Jordan Mission as it is so rare that you get to work for an organisation where you can come in every day and know that you are actually trying to make a difference to the world.

 

Nice people, progressive culture and moral imperatives all are regularly touted as the key drivers of motivation. But for her it’s pretty simple, it’s about interesting work that makes a difference and charities like these are the engine of change and to succeed requires them to be courageous, creative, innovative and determined. Jordan Mission vision is to encourage children to resume education along with better life and that’s why every individual’s contribution within Jordan Mission is valued and supported in achieving that goal.
