Mayesero Chancy Maloya is a distinguished alumna of Global Peace and the Educational Chair for the Southern Region of the Malawi Girl Guides Association. Mayesero is also a young woman with wide experience in civic engagement, community development, organizational leadership and research work. Mayesero graduated from the University of Malawi with a Bachelor’s Degree in Education. Mayesero acquired further skills in leadership and community development from the National Democratic Institute in Malawi. She is also an alumna of the Programme for Young Politicians in Africa, facilitated by the Centre for Young Leaders. To date, Mayesero has actively contributed to several areas of community development, and is widely known for her dedication to quality education, with the belief that education could be a powerful tool towards instilling proper human values in people for a progressive society.
From 2022 to 2023, Mayesero helped more than 2,000 learners, including teenagers and mothers who had dropped out of school during COVID-19, return to and stay in school. Mayesero has a strong interest in good governance and the inclusion of women, which has driven her to break barriers and champion women’s involvement in leadership. She has held a leadership position in a college political wing since 2018, contributing to a huge involvement of young people and women in politics. This move drastically changed the general political landscape of how young people present themselves in the circles of politics and leadership.
Mayesero values her exposure to the modern world while living in a developing country, and feels a duty to give back. She currently runs a community-based organisation in Malawi.
Global Peace welcomes Mayesero Chancy Maloya to the Global Peace Team and wishes her well in her new appointment.
Congratulations! From the Office of the Global Coordinator General, Global Peace, ACCORD, Durban, South Africa.
