With over a decade of experience in major gifts and partnerships, Meagan helps donors see the lasting impact of their generosity – how investments turn into life-changing healthcare for children with disabilities living in deep poverty. She leads the Partnership Development team at Hope and Healing International and guides the stewardship of our most generous supporters through personalized engagement, impact reports, and compelling stories. Meagan is driven by a deep conviction that God calls us to be His hands and feet – restoring dignity, joy, and hope to the most vulnerable children in His name. “I firmly believe that every child deserves to feel loved, and that’s exactly what happens through this work.”

“Nothing pleases me more than to see the sheer delight on the faces of people here in Canada – people whose investments and prayers are changing lives. I am so blessed to bring back stories and reports of their wonderful, inspiring and life-long impact. On a recent trip to Malawi, I met a nine-year-old boy who had lost half of his hand. Thanks to the generosity of people here in Canada, this boy received both physiotherapy and psychological counselling. When I sat down and talked with him, he told me, ‘Now I am the best football player and third-smartest student in my grade.’ The joy I saw in that boy’s eyes, the relief I saw on his mom’s face – that’s what I want to bring back to the supporters I talk to each day. This isn’t just a job. It’s a calling from God.”

Donna has a heart for vulnerable children and families living in difficult circumstances. She brings a wealth of experience in nonprofit leadership and faith-based fundraising to her role and is deeply grateful to serve in a ministry centred on bringing the hope of Jesus into the world. With warmth and a relational approach, Donna focuses on making meaningful connections with trusted donors and partners — the people who walk alongside us to ensure children get the medical care and support they need. For Donna, her work is a spiritual calling with prayer as its foundation. “I want to shine a light on the children Jesus cares so deeply about.”
Loveth Ejeh, MD
Medical Partnerships & Gift-in-Kind Officer

As a doctor with experience in low-resource settings, Loveth understands the heartbreak families face when they can’t access medical treatment, rehabilitation, or follow-up care for their children. She is passionate about expanding quality healthcare to underserved communities. “As a trained medical professional, I was taught that healing can only be done through the clinical route, but life experiences have shown me there are many ways to provide healing and increase access to healthcare beyond the walls of the hospital.” Guided by Colossians 3:23, Loveth sees her work as a ministry — a chance to reflect Jesus’ love and give glory to God. She enjoys talking with donors and sharing how their gifts can change children’s lives.
