Gloria Majiga-Kamoto
Malawian environmental activist
Gloria Majiga (born c. 1991) is a Malawian community development officer and environmental activist, who was awarded the 2021 Goldman Environmental Prize for Africa, in recognition of her work in advocating for the enforcement of a national ban on the importation, manufacture and distribution of single-use plastics in Malawi, in 2019.
Background and education
Gloria was born in Malawi circa 1991. She attended Malawian elementary and secondary schools. She holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Malawi. She has enrolled in the Master of Laws degree program at the University of London, on scholarship from the Canon Collins Educational & Legal Assistance Trust.
Career
Following completion of her undergraduate degree studies, Gloria was hired by Centre for Environmental Policy and Advocacy (CEPA), a non-government organisation based in Limbe, a suburb of Blantyre, the financial capital of Malawi.
She was put in charge of the “Sustainable Agriculture Lead Farmer Project” which included a “pass-on” programme for goats and other livestock. The programme donated a female goat to one farmer. When that female produced a kid, the farmer would pass on the goat to the next farmer and so on, until all the farmers in the cohort had goats.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
