Martha Newsome

About

As a child, Martha dreamed of traveling the world to salve the wounds of suffering people. Over the years, that dream took shape, starting as an undergraduate at Wheaton College when Martha travelled to Cameroon. Driven by her faith and commitment to service, Martha has spent the past 30 years helping people who are pushed to the margins. At just 33, Martha served as a country manager in Mozambique in the aftermath of the country’s bloody civil war. She’s spent more than two decades in leadership positions for international nongovernmental organizations, implementing high-impact programs that have served hundreds of thousands of people. Martha is a sought-after speaker, appearing before the United Nations and various global health initiatives. She has an MPH from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
