Mayankho SCIO

About

Mayankho serves local communities with education around entrepreneurship and financial literacy. We support women in Mulanje, Malawi, to learn the foundational knowledge and skills to generate revenue for them and their family through entrepreneurship, while also providing a structured micro-loan to them each year as they grow their business. One of our Founders, Nancy Chinyanya (CEO of Malawian entity) peviously owned a restaurant in the area that has now become our physical center in Malawi. Our team is experienced in teaching entrepreneurship, tracking business growth and supporting a micro-lending operation. To date, we support 85 women who have started businesses through Mayankho, and our earliest cohort is earning 60% more than the average national household income.
