National Youth Council
of Malawi
Backed by the Youth Innovation Fund.
Madyo's expansion across Lilongwe was made possible in part by a grant from the Youth Innovation Fund, administered by the National Youth Council of Malawi. The Fund backs young Malawian founders building businesses that create jobs and serve Malawian communities — riders, kitchens, customers — and we're proud to be one of them.
Every order you place on Madyo helps us turn that initial vote of confidence into a delivery network that pays Malawian riders a real wage and gives Malawian kitchens a real distribution channel. Thank you, NYCOM.
