Paola Villa is an award-winning economist, Christian leader, and humanitarian whose work operates at the intersection of Scripture, discernment, and real-world responsibility.

She has lectured and served as a panelist at the United Nations and has advised leaders on famine, religious persecution, and economic destabilization. Her perspective is shaped by years of navigating faith within complex environments — where clarity, restraint, and wisdom matter.

Paola’s clarity is not accidental. It is formed through discipline, prayer, and a life shaped by Scripture. From surviving meningitis at age two to receiving Christ at six, her faith has never been theoretical — it has been lived, tested, and refined.

She is the founder of Harvest Feed, a humanitarian organization addressing root causes of hunger and advocating for persecuted Christians worldwide. Her work has been recognized with the U.S. Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award, the United Nations Global Humanitarian Award, and an Honorary Doctorate for her academic and humanitarian contributions.
