Laurence Biggs
Mission Director
Laurence is an ordained Anglican minister with nearly 30 years of experience in global mission.
As founder of Romania Care, he helped raise over £1 million in support of charitable, educational, and medical projects in Romania and Moldova, and led more than 200 volunteers on short-term mission teams.
His passion for international outreach has since taken him to Sierra Leone, Kenya, and Zambia. Laurence brings strong skills in cross-cultural leadership, pastoral care, and project development and management. Now retired from parish ministry, he is dedicating more time to global mission as Mission Director of Throw A Starfish, where he continues his lifelong commitment to serving others with compassion and purpose.
His current focus is on developing support for autistic children and their families in Kenya.
Donald Chepkutwo
Chair
Donald is a dynamic leader with a strong background in finance, governance, and technology.
He holds an MBA in Finance and an MSc in Artificial Intelligence & Robotics, bringing together strategic leadership and innovative thinking to drive impact for the charity.
Donald has led financial inclusion, training, and capacity-building initiatives across Africa—including Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, the DRC, and Zimbabwe—empowering individuals and communities through scalable, sustainable solutions.
Grounded in his belief in servant leadership, Donald is especially passionate about supporting vulnerable populations, particularly individuals living with autism and developmental challenges. He is a dedicated advocate for inclusion, dignity, and opportunity—ensuring that every person is seen, heard, and empowered to thrive.
His work with Throw A Starfish reflects this calling: to walk alongside communities, listen deeply, and co-create transformative change that honours every human story.
