Faith Lungu graduated from the University of Malawi (UNIMA) with a Bachelor’s degree in Arts (Humanities), majoring in Philosophy and minoring in Public Administration and Classics. She is deeply passionate about youth development and has accumulated extensive experience in mentoring young people. Her journey in youth mentorship began before joining CorpsAfrica, where she volunteered as a mentor for the Nditha Project, an initiative under the Word Alive Commission for Relief and Disaster. Through this project, Faith mentored young people from rural primary schools, providing them with the guidance and support necessary to navigate the challenges of education and personal growth.
In addition to her mentorship work, Faith also worked as a teacher at Prince Mo Private Secondary School. During her time there, she was responsible for teaching and supporting students in their academic journeys. She collaborated with fellow educators to deliver high-quality education and ensured that students were well-equipped to face both academic and personal challenges.
These experiences have granted Faith a deeper understanding of the challenges, aspirations, and potential of young people in Malawi. She strongly believes that when youth are given a listening ear, equipped with essential life skills, and provided with platforms to practice them, they can bring about transformative change in their communities. She hopes to continue this work, leveraging her role in CorpsAfrica to connect with more youth, empowering them to actively participate in the development of Malawi.
