ABOUT AUNT LIZZY
The Promoter of AUNT LIZZY’S CHRISTIAN EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION (ALCEF) Mrs Ebob Evenye MBIWAN TANYI, named the Foundation in honour of her mother, Mrs Elizabeth Efeti MBIWAN née MBONGO known by all as “Aunty Lizzy,” a gracious, upright and courageous Christian woman.
She lived a life of service, almost from the word “go”. She started out working as a young girl with the missionaries who came to spread the Word of God in her native Victoria, and rounded off her active life as a selfless teacher and Head Mistress, giving her all to make sure that the children who were put in her care received nothing but the best.
ALCEF’S Promoter dreams of walking in her mother’s footsteps, and prays that she too may leave a legacy that posterity can be proud of.
