Carlow, was the brother of Owen Lambert, a missionary priest who co-founded \u2018Self Help Development International\u2019 in his native village in the early 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>A well-known businessman and farmer, Mr Lambert served as the director of \u2018Self Help\u2019 for more than a decade following its foundation, and was a member of the organisation\u2019s Board of Directors for many years.<\/p>\n<p>For over 20 years the charity was based from offices in a building that was provided by Mr. Lambert in Hacketstown.<\/p>\n<p>CEO Ray Jordan said that he was saddened to learn of the tragic and untimely death of Mr. Lambert. He expressed condolences to his wife Catherine and wider family on their loss. \u201cThe Lambert family were visionaries, and played a central role in creating one of Ireland\u2019s very first long-term development organisations. Michael Lambert was at the heart of those efforts for over 20 years\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMichael Lambert was extremely active in business, farming and in his local community, yet he also devoted a great deal of his time and energy\u00a0to Self Help, and helped to lay the foundations for an organisation that today is working to end hunger and poverty for more than 1.8 million people in Africa,\u201d Mr Jordan added.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CEO Ray Jordan has paid tribute to the late Michael Lambert<\/p>\n<a
