Polly Wachira, Head of Campaigns and Communities at Thellesi Trust, one of the CBOs at Maono Space, sat down with Natasha Kimani on the “Talk To Me Direct” podcast by Luminate. She explained why CBOs are such valuable and effective agents of change and why supporting them is not only necessary but transformative.
At Maono Space, we have created an environment where collaboration is not only encouraged but essential, enabling each changemaker to contribute meaningfully toward building a stronger, more inclusive future for people in their communities.
