25 Years of Empowering Leaders: Mutinta Mundia’s Story with MCW Global

Mutinta Mundia from Zambia, a 2022 MCW Global alumna, shares her transformative journey with MCW Global- an experience that significantly shaped both her personal and professional life. One of the key lessons she learned was the organization’s commitment to identifying and empowering young leaders to drive change within their communities.

This commitment resonates deeply with Mutinta, aligning with her passion for contributing to the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 3)- ensuring good health and well-being for all, particularly through accessible and quality oral healthcare.

“This has been demonstrated by the organization’s ongoing support of alumni engagement through funding opportunities and fellowship programs that help bring our ideas to life and make a tangible impact in our communities.”

On a personal level, MCW Global has been instrumental in Mutinta’s growth. It has provided opportunities to connect with like-minded alumni across various sectors and fostered a strong sense of responsibility through its leadership development programs.

Her professional experience has been equally enriched.

“My professional journey has been enhanced through the knowledge and support MCW Global provided. I’ve had the privilege of advocating, educating, screening, and offering dental care to over 3,000 children and adults, with a focus on inclusivity.” 

“Additionally, I’ve built collaborations and partnerships that have opened new doors. I can confidently say I’m more active and committed to creating positive change.”

Reflecting on her experience, Mutinta believes MCW Global has had a profound impact on her and many other young people. She believes through MCW Global’s programs in education, health, and economic security, young leaders are equipped with the skills to implement real solutions in their communities. 

Reflecting on the impact of MCW Global’s initiatives, Mutinta shares one of her most memorable experiences with the organization.

“My most memorable event with MCW Global was when reunited with other MCW Global Zambian alumni at the young leaders conference held in Zambia in 2023, showing how MCW Global values its alumni engagement. This moment sparked memories and how much growth and transformation MCW Global has contributed to both our personal and career growth.”

As the organization celebrates its 25th anniversary, Mutinta is honored to be part of its journey and looks forward to continuing to support MCW Global’s mission, vision, and values. She expresses deep gratitude for the opportunity to help create a more equitable future for all.
