What our volunteers say
Briony
“The experience in Malawi really pushed me to develop my managerial skills, subsequently instilling me with confidence and ability to run an effective team.”
Adele
"The whole Mayamiko Trust team are brilliant to work with. There's so much positivity. Paola made us feel really welcome as did Jane and the whole stitching team onsite in Malawi. Everyone works hard to ensure more women get access to financial literacy and good jobs. If you have the opportunity to work with Mayamiko, grab it with both hands."
Thomas
“I am currently looking into community engagement work either through the arts or third sector organisations.”
Hope
"The Mayamiko Trust has now been going 12 years; it is the passion and commitment of everyone involved that’s maintained such projects. Never resting on their laurels, the range of things the Trust has accomplished is amazing and the projects are always adapt to the needs and desires of the communities. I helped work on the theory and framework for the latest pilot, expanding financial literacy and business training to more women through a train-the-trainer scheme and a growing digital presence. Malawi is a country with still a great deal of gender inequality in politics, power and incomes. It’s hard to believe when we hear the testimonies of so many independent and passionate women who come through Mayamiko Trust training schemes and go on to start their own ventures. It’s inspiring to see how hard everyone works and I hope the Trust can keep on going for many years to coming and reach many more people!"
