Our Story: From Struggles to Solutions
In the heart of Tervuren, Belgium where people from diverse cultures and backgrounds come in search of new beginnings, the idea for MadiroEdu was born. It was not born in boardrooms or meetings, but in the shared struggles and hopes of migrants and returnees trying to find their place in the world.
The Birth of MadiroEdu
In 2024, with a vision to empower, uplift, and create lasting impact, Abigail Tatenda Chibebe formally established MadiroEdu. The goal was simple yet profound: to ensure that no migrant would have to face the hardships of their journey alone. The organization was built around a commitment to offer migrants not only the resources they needed to survive but the tools and knowledge they needed to thrive.
