Cassandra Jardine, The Daily Telegraph
"All of us were deeply impressed by the quiet passion with which you described the work of Excellent Development. The idea of the sand dam has a magnificent simplicity and clearly a relevance that could extend way beyond Kenya."
 
Bear Grylls - Chief Scout, UK Scouts Association and TV Explorer
"Excellent Development are pioneering new ways for local people in Kenya to increase productivity and transform their communities lives. I admire their work so much and know what a huge difference together they are making."
 
Dr Terence P. Dawson, Research Fellow, Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford, England
"Excellent Development is a unique charity that approaches rural development in a multi-disciplinary way with the aim of achieving a win-win situation: enhancement of the natural environment and improved quality of life."
 
Dr Mark Harrison, Director and Reader in the History of Medicine, University of Oxford, England
"All over the world deforestation has been linked to the emergence of new diseases and the re-emergence of old but deadly infections such as malaria. Excellent Development's emphasis upon development through agro forestry will provide major health benefits to the communities involved by providing more sustainable development and self-sufficiency in effective traditional medicines."
