I have known and worked with Mumba Kafula for about 15 years. We worked together between 1995 and 2005 in Manchester on training projects for a range of community organisations and parent groups. Mumba has worked for Manchester City Council and a variety of other institutions providing training in responding to diversity, management issues and study skills. Mumba prepares and delivers training to a high professional standard. She liaises effectively with groups, identifying needs and designing appropriate activities, delivering quality programmes and monitoring outcomes. She is responsive to the needs of learners and clients and understands how to meet their needs in the design of training.
