I am grateful to be in an active environment like CAIF, with professional mentors and systems change champions, channeling its energies towards an impact that matters. Oluwatobi Edun, Canada Africa Innovation Fellow 2022
Meeting with MPs was transformative for me, and attending National Conference in Montreal in 2019...It was being a part of something bigger than myself. Alex Goulden, Advocacy Distributed Team
My focus since joining Kwangu-Kwako has been on using my engineering background in product design. I’ve been designing multiple new features [that] better meets our user’s needs. Chris Morgan, Long-Term Fellow 2016
Working [as a fellow] turned my world upside down. My naïve idea of what development means changed to something more complex, more difficult, more confusing…I can’t think of any experience that has had a bigger impact on my life’s direction in the past decade. Emily Stewart, Junior Fellow in Malawi
