Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Milaan
We believe that embracing diversity, equity, and inclusion as organisational values fosters a culture
where every voice is welcome, heard, and respected with a sense of belonging.

Diversity

Our team reflects the richness of the communities we serve. From minority religions to low-income households, from first-generation professionals to single women-led families, Milaan is home to people who bring different life stories to the same mission.

We actively recruit from diverse talent pools and open pathways through internships, scholarships, and employment opportunities. This helps us bring in voices that are often underrepresented in the development sector, making our work more grounded and more authentic.

Equity

Milaan is committed to being an equal opportunity organization. There is no gender pay gap in our team, and our policies are designed to be gender-responsive and inclusive.

We prioritize hiring from the regions where we work, ensuring that our staff bring real community perspectives into decision-making. Our recruitment process is transparent and unbiased, from gender-neutral job descriptions that focus on skills and experience.

Inclusion

Inclusion is at the heart of how we work. Every team member brings a unique set of skills, experiences, and perspectives, and we make sure they feel encouraged to share them. We embrace neurodiversity, recognising the strengths of colleagues on the spectrum and ensuring they have the support to thrive. We integrate our alumni into the team. Many of our Girl Icons, after completing the program, begin their professional journey with us as Program Assistants.
