For Grace, “giving back” is more than a phrase
it is a commitment to ensuring other young people can dream bigger.
From Pestalozzi Student to PwC Tax Consultant
Fifteen years after joining the Pestalozzi programme, Grace Mwenya became part of the organisation’s leadership, helping shape opportunities for future generations.Grace worked as a Tax Consultant for PwC Zambia and previously served as a board member for Pestalozzi Zambia, a role that allowed her to give back to the organisation that helped transform her life.
Being an alumni and part of the board gave me an opportunity to give back to Pestalozzi, I could support the work from the perspective of someone who had gone through the programme.
