Our Founder Oliver Mwalongo Selected to Represent Tanzania at One Young World

Cape Town, South Africa |

NONO Initiative is proud to announce that our Founder and Team Leader, Oliver Mwalongo, has been selected to represent Tanzania at the prestigious One Young World Summit in Cape town, South Africa, joining a global community of emerging leaders, innovators and changemakers committed to addressing some of the world's most pressing challenges. Her selection recognizes her commitment to advancing community-driven solutions to child malnutrition, strengthening household food systems and expanding economic opportunities for vulnerable women.

Through NONO Initiative, Oliver has championed practical innovations, connecting household food production, child nutrition and women's economic empowerment. Her work reflects a belief that lasting solutions to malnutrition must begin within communities and empower families to become active contributors to their own food security.

At One Young World, she brings a distinctly Tanzanian perspective to global conversations on nutrition, innovation, sustainable development and youth leadership. She also carries the experiences and aspirations of communities whose solutions deserve greater visibility, investment and international recognition.

For NONO Initiative, this milestone is an opportunity to place locally developed African solutions on the global stage and demonstrate the contribution of young African leaders to building healthier, more resilient communities.
