Review for Matawi Inc, Lewiston, ME, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I am very proud to serve on the Board of Matawi. I have had many volunteer and work experiences with international non-profits and can say with confidence that Matawi is a model of how to merge a challenging mission with concrete programmatic achievements. The result is an organization that fosters education and leadership opportunities in the global refugee community. This year, the organization hosted an incredible function in NYC that generated conversation and a deeper awareness of the tremendous barrier that young women in refugee camps face in accessing higher education. It was an incredibly moving and effective event.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

It was a great pleasure to have the chance to meet a young woman who has benefited from Matawi's support this past year.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

make financial resources more plentiful so that they could expand their programmatic work.

Role:  Board Member & I serve on the Board.
