I joined Namati to be part of a community that has the same values and goals as myself. I run my company in South Africa that assists consumers who are struggling financially. We are also focussing on consumer education trying to make sure consumers understand their rights and responsibilities. In the midst of the COVID-19 financial breakdown, some financial organizations are taking advantage of consumers. This is really frustrating and I also looking for an organization that is ready to fight for the little guy.

Iā€™m Ahmed Idarus from Kenya. I felt compelled to join the Namati family after coming across its invitation through an online platform and i instantly felt like this is the kind of place where i could not only access crucial information but also exchange opinions through the various community forums which would eventually lead to better enhancing of the CBO at which Iā€™m based .I also aim to establish continuing partnership with like-minded fellows bearing the same vision as mine.

My name is Christiana Eguma from Nigeria. I am a peace and Conflict Resolution graduate. Am presently a member of Geol Redeemer foundation, that is involved promoting women right to economic growth and development by capacity building, grant an skill acquisition. With intra- ethic, religious and family conflict predominant in Nigeria and Africa at large, due to high level of poverty, structural injustice and economic inequality, peace has become a scarce commodity. There is need to correct the error of the past by promoting just, renegotiation and instilling a culture of Peace in the society. I can across this organization online and was happy to join to network and contribute my quota in ensuring conflict are resolved peacefully.
