Social Entrepreneurships Manager

My name is Winie Tecla Andre Tomás Makande, I was born on June 22, 1986, and raised in Maputo. I have a younger sister, and I am the mother of two boys, aged 10 and 7, and my 15-year-old daughter-niece. My primary education was at 3 de Fevereiro Primary School and completed in Maxaquene School. My secondary education was at Secundária Josina Machel and Colégio Kitabu. My dream was to study medicine, but after being introduced to economics in 11th Grade I decided to follow economics. I studied economics at Eduardo Mondlane University and later added a management module. My first job was at Kulunga, a consultancy,training and market studies company, mostly as project manager. From Kulunga I moved to Intercampus – Market Studies, as a project manager and later to a human resources and financial management position. I worked at Kalunga for about five years before joining BCI Bank, where I worked on financial inclusion for small farmers in rural areas. I now work in the Gorongosa Project’s Sustainable Development Department.
