Nico Walleser
Member of our board of advisory
the swift resolution of strategic and complex issues
As a member of the advisory board, my role is mainly to support ULT in a consulting capacity. My tasks include:
I first heard about ULT through my sister Annika. She’s been involved practically since day one, and I’ve always admired her dedication – she’s been, and still is, a real role model for me. Her commitment inspired me to get involved too and to use my time and skills for a cause that truly matters to me.
I volunteer because I deeply believe that education is the key to a better future – no matter where someone is born. Through my work with ULT, I want to help give young people access to high-quality education. It gives me a real sense of purpose to see concrete change – whether it’s new school materials or a child going to school thanks to a scholarship.
Definitely sports – by far my favourite!
In five years, I see ULT as an organisation that has successfully purchased its own school in Kenya – giving children real access to quality education.
I also believe that our amazing and diverse team will continue to plan and implement even more big projects. That way, even more children can benefit from education – and gain hope for a better life.
In primary school, our whole school put on a play. I proudly told my parents that I was going to be in it – and that I had an important role.
They had a good laugh when they came to see the show and found out my “important” role was… being a tree. I just had to stand still and not move the whole time!
