Krisztina Schafler
Commercial Director
Before founding Little Lives UK, Kriszti worked for 2 other major charities in the UK. She originally started as a volunteer for one of their charity shops but later became the store’s shop manager. After achieving this success, she established her own charity, Little Lives UK, to help disadvantaged children in the London area. The foundation of Little Lives UK was centred on Kriszti’s upbringing. She experienced a lot of challenges as a child that no-one that age should face. As she had very few people around her to help, Kriszti decided to form this charity in order to help children that are now facing similar issues. The charity aims to help local children within the London area, with many of the projects we organise being community-based projects. Guaranteeing that suffering children access much needed services that help support them was Krizsti’s overall objective for the charity.
