Tendai Madondo (Nee Mandingwa) has lived in Tallaght, a town located south west of Dublin, Ireland since 2002 and has witnessed the amazing demographic growth and infrastructural development. Tendai is married to Farai and lives with her two girls Tatenda, Britney and younger sister Ravie. Her husband Farai works in Tallaght and her girls attend local schools in the locality.

Tendai once worked for Tallaght Partnership as a consultant on the migrant workers project then subsequently worked for Tallaght hospital before joining Cairde as a Development Officer. She established a women’s group in collaboration with Tallaght Intercultural Action where she continues to be an active member. She is also a member of Tallazens.

There is no doubt that the face of Tallaght has significantly transformed into being a rainbow place with hundreds of migrant families living and working there. However, a lot remains to be done to ensure that

1. children – who are the future generations are adequately educated,
2. child care services adequately cater for the local families,
3. disabled and elderly people have quality care and support,
4. our infrastructure matches the local growth and that
5. Tallaght is an all inclusive community.
