Chad Smith – Trustee

Chad joined Kibo’s board in 2018. Based in Northwest Arkansas, he works for CI Solutions, where he employs the Kibo Way in daily life by elevating people's skills and helping them find and know their God-given value and worth. He and his wife were married in 1994 and have two awesome children. They made their first trip to Uganda in 2014 and forged beautiful friendships with many of Kibo’s staff that continue to impact their lives today.

What Chad loves about Kibo: “Kibo’s mission and the Kibo Way align with my perspectives about driving continuous improvement in all we are and do. As I do this continuous improvement work, it breaks my heart to see great people stuck in a place in life where they do not know the value, worth and purpose given to all of us by God and don't know how to change their circumstances. Kibo’s Ugandan staff embodies the best of how to walk alongside others to help them see their God-given worth as they elevate the people they serve. I invite anyone even a little curious about Kibo to visit with the staff on their American visits, or better yet, say yes to the crazy idea of seeing it first hand for yourself in Africa. I’m a believer that the Kibo staff in Uganda has much to teach the world, and the more people like us that see it for ourselves, the more good Kibo can do.”
