Tonthoza has just begun her Henry Fellowship. The Fellowship is a one-year program that focuses on design for impact and strategy for scale. It consists of an intensive week-long retreat, structured work over the year, and another week-long retreat at the end. We'll add more detail on Tonthoza's solution towards the end of his year with us.
Tonthoza grew up on a farm, where land was both livelihood and classroom, and that early connection to nature drives her work today. A trained forester, she learned a ton operationally from the tobacco industry. She’s currently getting her PhD at Bangor University — her research is focused on forest restoration effectiveness in Malawi. She blends science, local knowledge, tech, and operations to help smallholder farmers build climate resilience.
