Clamra Celestin, CEO

Clamra Celestin, was born and raised in Kindiri, a small village in Chad. At the age of eight, he was taken to a Jesuit school far from Kindiri and experienced the trauma of separation from family and community. While a teenager, Clamra drove famine relief trucks through dangerous terrain in Chad to bring food to starving communities. He was part of a team that raised funds to provide leprosy medications in India, where he met Mother Theresa.

Returning to Chad, he created two small village schools so that children would not have to leave their communities. They provide theoretical and practical instruction, are infused with local arts traditions and focus on environmental stewardship. He now lives in Manhattan where he writes and collects African art. Clamra frequently visits Chad where he is engaged in two environmental programs that will become a model for sub-Saharan sustainable communities.
