Community Liaison Manager

Evaristo started working with MAG in Angola in 2003 due to his own experience of being uprooted by the conflict and seeking refuge abroad. The Angolan conflict also claimed his father, brother and sister. On returning, he was determined to help others who had been through similar experiences.

“I joined MAG just to save lives and to help people know how to live safely”
