Dalia Fam, OZ Project Program Manager
Dalia served as a missionary in Zambia for 13 years, along with her husband Father (Fr.) Abraham and their two children, who were born to be leaders. Recently having moved back to the U.S., she is excited and blessed to use her experiences in Zambia to contribute to the OZ Project. As Project Manager, she will be combining her missionary experience and her education with a passion to serve the vulnerable and less fortunate. As a Southern girl, Dalia grew up in a small town in Georgia and majored in Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. She had a passion to work in the human rights field, so continued her education by attending law school in Washington, D.C. at American University. After graduating and working for a year, she and Fr. Abraham felt the call to go to Africa, forever changing their lives! Although they deeply miss Zambia, they are grateful for their time there, which shaped who they are today.
