Theresa Kachindamoto is widely known as “the marriage terminator” — a title she never gave herself, but one that speaks to the bold legacy she’s building in Malawi. Her work ending child marriages has been covered by journalists, NGOs, and global platforms. I had read about her. Heard stories about her. Quoted her statistics. Admired her courage. On May 24th, 2024 — for the first time — I got to sit down and listen to her speak.
Delighted to join the Africa Climate Ambassadors Programme (ACAP) 2024 cohort. The year long programme brings together 18 of Africa’s leaders to champion the climate change opportunity narrative within their spheres of influence across the continent.
