“As MEDA’s GDEI Lead for the Mastercard Foundation Africa Growth Fund, I’ve had the privilege of embedding gender, diversity, equity, and inclusion into the heart of our investment work.

What I enjoy most is seeing how intentional strategies can shift power dynamics, unlock opportunities, and create dignified work for women and youth across Africa. MEDA’s collaborative and impact-driven culture makes this possible - it’s a place where I feel both challenged and supported to bring transformative ideas to life.”

“What drives me each day is the chance to look back and know I made a positive impact in people’s lives. That’s why MEDA inspires me. Meeting urgent needs like food or healthcare is vital, but real transformation comes from supporting people to build independence for themselves, their families, and their communities.

This is exactly what MEDA does by creating business solutions to poverty that last. I feel proud to contribute to such a great and inspiring mission that reaches across the world. In addition to that I felt so grateful with the way my colleagues have been incredibly supportive and welcoming, helping me settle quickly.”
