Stella Waterhouse – Founder/Co-Director
My interest in autism began in the late 1960s and spent much of my career, working closely with individuals and their families. That made me very aware of the challenges familes face, especially when it comes to finding time and space for relaxation.
Having had to care for my late husband for several years motivated me to create Koloko, which enables families to find suitable holidays easily and quickly. It began as a hobby but has now evolved into viable business.
