OUR FELLOWS
Amenye Mulwafu-Banda grew up in northern Malawi as the lastborn of eight children, and is thankful that her parents encouraged their offspring to continue with their education. Now, as a monitoring and evaluation specialist at Land O’ Lakes, she enjoys seeing less-privileged women in rural communities making money and able to feed their children thanks to her organization’s interventions. “That sense of satisfaction is my primary payment,” she smiles.
