Maono

Watch our own polly wachira talk about maono and what we are about

Our space enables change-makers to work, network, and collaborate towards the sustainable development of their communities. We provide them with a community of practice, a physical space and tools to work in, and shared services, including accounting, marketing, tech support, training and other capacity building, and financial support.

We work to address the challenges that change-makers face, including working in silos alone, the lack of skill and capacity, the expenses associated with their work and the lack of a network. By being members of Maono, they can leverage of each other’s skills and access new ones.

Our community impact skyrocketed with Maono’s support and resources.

ABOUT MAONO

Maono was developed as a dynamic space that empowers community based mobilisers and organisers to build networks, to build each other's capacity and to build a movement of the people who truly make a change - the community mobilisers and organisers.

It is not quite a hub – at least not the usual kind of innovation hub that Africa is now well known for. It is also not quite the conventional co-working space. The truth is, we don’t know exactly what it is. What we do know is that many community based organisers and mobilisers work in silos in small offices and they struggle with the basic facilities – a stable internet connection, a good place to work, meeting rooms… and because they work in silos, they struggle to build networks and to share lessons they are learning with the world.
