What People Say

I am jealous of you (Maya and her team)… and the world needs more example like you.

John Kerry

US Secretary of State

Maya is a true story of women empowerment. Not only because she scaled Everest. But this is a young girl who fought child marriage, faced social stigma, scaled Everest and is now empowering young disadvantaged women to become heroes. True inspiration!

Richard Ragan

Resident Representative, Tanzania, UN World Food Programme

I have been very lucky that I get to work with my heroes every single day. And Maya is one such hero. Because of her I have become a better leader and better person.
