Who is Seth Gillman?

Seth Gillman is a counsellor from London, UK. He first got involved with Amatsiko while a volunteer coach with Ruislip Town FC. He organised a large donation of football kit from RTFC to Amatsiko, which he personally delivered while on a trip to Uganda with his family in 2014. This was in addition to a set of kits kindly donated by Crystal Palace FC, an English Premier League Club, as well as a large quantity of educational and other equipment which was also delivered personally by Seth and his family. 

Seth and his wife and two children travelled to Uganda in August 2014 and spent a week in Kabale volunteering for Amatsiko. While there the family helped with schoolwork, sports activities, arts and crafts and sustainable small-scale agriculture within the Amatsiko community. Since then Seth and his family have maintained their connection with Amatsiko and have been involved in raising funds and awareness of Amatsiko’s work. 

Seth has donated two birthdays to Amatsiko, contributing over £1000 to their projects. More recently he played a leading role in raising over £500 for children with hydrocephalus to have life-saving surgery in Uganda, which has resulted in two young children having operations which will change their lives for the better.
Seth continues to support Amatsiko’s work in whatever ways he can and maintains strong bonds with those in Uganda and beyond who contribute to this hugely important mission.
