CRUISE 5 TIONGE MTAMBO AUGUST 6 2023

Tionge Mtambo is the Head Teacher at Tondola Primary School in Chitipa and she is the founder for Girl Rise Initiative Malawi. She is not her ordinary headteacher, she is probably the youngest female primary school headteacher in Malawi. I understand in 2009 when she was 15 years old, she was married off to a man who was much older than her. He was 46 years old and had married two other wives, meaning she would be a third. This was when she was in Form Two at Chitipa Secondary School.
At Nahayombo Primary School she used her salary to purchase essential resources, such as charts, markers, and supplementary books for learning. Together with her students, she introduced several innovations in the classroom, such as science corners, nature tables, and shopping corners, to make learning more interactive and engaging.
After graduation as an Initial Primary Teacher [IPTE] and Open Distance Learning [ODL] at Karonga Teachers Training College she was posted to teach in the border with Tanzania, Kameme Ilengo primary school, a school which had no girl child from standard 6 to 8 because all girls was married. She sourced funds to provide school uniforms for underprivileged learners, resulting in a zero absenteeism rate. All her 2022 standard 8 candidates passed their exams, achieving a 100% pass rate.
She is now raising funds for the construction of a classroom block to provide her learners with a proper learning facility. She is the founder of Girl Rise Initiative Malawi, a newly registered organization. This is a female led-led organization focused on keeping girls in school as education is a crucial factor in breaking the cycle of poverty and achieving gender equality.
In 2017, the Royal Commonwealth Society awarded her a certificate, recognizing her contributions to the education sector. In 2022 she received an award from World Vision, which was another milestone in her teaching career. This recognition came as a result of her outstanding performance as a teacher.
During World Teachers' Day celebrations, she was awarded as an outstanding teacher, a testimony to her unwavering dedication and commitment to the teaching profession.
