From Volunteer to Advocate: Moshe’s Journey with MC-Zambia

In an inspiring conversation about his journey with MCW Global and its affiliate MC-Zambia, Moshe Mununka reflects on how the organization’s commitment to integrity, compassion, and accountability aligns with his personal values, motivating him to drive positive change in his community.

Moshe began his journey with the organization as a Literacy Officer volunteer. One of his greatest achievements came just five months into his role when he was promoted to Literacy Officer. 

Recently, he played a key role in successfully integrating 80 children from literacy and numeracy classes into government schools- an increasing number of children transitioning to formal education compared to the previous year.

Supporting her Community and Connecting with Youth Worldwide 

One of her initiatives involved supporting women in her hometown, Hebron, a Palestinian city in the southern West Bank. Through this, Haneen aimed to bridge the educational gap between urban and rural female students in Hebron by offering them awareness sessions about the importance of education and supporting them financially to get transportation from their village to the school in the city. 

Haneen touches upon this and expresses her deep appreciation and alignment with  MCW Global’s vision.

“It was through MCW Global that I deepened my understanding of leadership and the importance of fostering change. This vision has guided my efforts, from supporting women in Hebron to mentoring leaders from diverse backgrounds globally and finally professionally being able to help and mentor young men and women to get jobs in Palestine, compete in the international market, and support the Palestinian economic growth.” 

After finishing university, she returned to the MCW Global as a mentor in the Fellowship program, and over the next six years, she assisted mentees in understanding leadership and implementing their social initiatives in their countries. 

“These mentees were from around the world. The support and mentorship I received through MCW Global were transformative, enabling me to mentor other leaders from different countries around the world and contribute to their growth.”

“MCW Global is also a key factor in rooting resilience, empathy, and commitment to positive change and advocacy for my community and beyond.”

Conclusively, reflecting on MC-Zambia’s solidarity, Moshe recalls a time when he was involved in a road traffic accident and the MC-Zambia team showed extraordinary compassion throughout his recovery.

“This experience highlighted the exceptional commitment of MCW Global and its affiliates to their core values.”
