During Grace’s time at her government secondary school in Malawi she was selected to attend a National Youth Conference in the country’s capital city Lilongwe and was also named Most Outstanding Leader when she graduated. Grace has been involved with many organisations, including being a youth parliamentarian and volunteering for District Youth Office. She is a second year university student and is pursuing a Bachelors of Science in Gender and Development. She is also an ambassador for Malawi Creation Care Network, an organisation that campaigns for the environment and climate change issues.

One action Grace would like you to do:

“The only thing I would like people to do for me is to have their ears hear, listen and implement what they learn concerning gender equality and environmental stuff.”

Grace is part of Acting National Gender and Development Affairs Officer for the African Union Youth Charter in Malawi. Follow them on Twitter.
