Nazeem Lowe

Barefoot Teacher was founded by Nazeem in 2006. A former schoolteacher, museum developer, entrepreneur and activist (he was among thousands of fighters imprisoned on Robben Island during the Apartheid era), Nazeem has worked in social development projects for almost thirty years. Barefoot Teacher was the logical outcome of years of reflecting on communication in relation to the non-profit sectors in which he worked.

Nazeem has degrees in English, has completed the senior management programme at the University of Stellenbosch (USB), and has undergone project management training in South Africa, Zambia and Sweden. He has many years of experience of managing publications, as well as copywriting, copy-editing and proofreading experience.
