Mayamiko Trust was established in 2008 by Paola Masperi. After extensive travel in Africa, Paola felt inspired to help some of the most disadvantaged people in Malawi by setting up a charity to support their creative talents and turn them into sustainable activities. 

​Since then Mayamiko trust has embarked on a number of life changing projects and continue to support the people of Malawi towards sustainable living. The ethos behind Paola’s charity has always been to nurture skills that can be transferable to trade practices in the hope that these skills will one day be able to lift people out of poverty and towards a better future.
