We are on a mission to highly educate at least one person in every family, starting in Malawi.

We believe education has the power to transform lives, create social impact, and contribute to economic growth. Our journey started in Malawi, but our future is limitless.

The journey to higher education starts with a dream, but achieving it requires preparation, reliable information and informed decisions. Through an educational outreach in Zomba, Student Climbers from University of Malawi - UNIMA engaged Likangala secondary school learners on opportunities beyond secondary school.

The session covered the value of further education, academic preparation and university admission, funding opportunities, career guidance and life skills. Community Climbers, including Faith Lunda, Veralianah Chipere, Joseph Beyamu and Taonga Mhango, led the discussions, while other Student Climbers supported learners through one-on-one coaching and answering questions.

The message was clear: financial challenges should not automatically limit educational aspirations. With proper preparation and awareness of available opportunities, learners can take meaningful steps towards their future.

Beyond the engagement, the outreach reflects the spirit of giving back that Kwera seeks to nurture among its Student Climbers. By sharing their knowledge, experiences and lessons from their own educational journeys, they are helping inspire and guide the next generation.

Inspiring the next generation starts with sharing the right knowledge and opening their minds to new possibilities.

On Wednesday, nine Kwera Student Climbers from the University of Malawi - UNIMA visited Mulunguzi Secondary School for the first phase of their educational outreach. They engaged learners on pursuing higher education, university admission, academic preparation and available funding opportunities.

The initiative reflects the Student Climbers’ commitment to giving back to their communities and helping learners see that financial challenges should not limit their educational aspirations. By sharing knowledge about available opportunities, they hope to encourage learners to dream bigger and pursue their goals with confidence, regardless of their families’ financial circumstances.

The outreach continues this Friday at Likangala Secondary School.

A degree opens doors, but the right skills and opportunities help graduates make the most of them.

At Kwera, the journey goes beyond tuition, laptops and data bundles. Through practical training, internships and opportunities to turn innovative ideas into solutions that impact communities, Student Climbers gain experiences that prepare them for life beyond university.

In this video, our graduates from University of Malawi - UNIMA share their stories and reflect on how these opportunities have shaped their growth, expanded their possibilities and prepared them to make a difference.

What happens when a lesson becomes a lasting habit?

Meet Chioma Dimgba, a Year 3 Architecture Studies student at the Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences- MUBAS and a Cohort 5 Student Climber who has just finished Year 1: Leading Self of Kwera’s Skills Building Program (SBP).

For Chioma, one module has changed how she views everyday life. The Delayed Gratification module inspired her to start a gratitude journal, helping her appreciate the small things even when life does not go as planned. As she puts it, “Gratitude has become more than an activity from SBP. It is becoming a mindset that I want to carry with me beyond the programme.”

Creativity and better habits have also been part of her learning journey. The Thinking Hats module introduced her to the Green Hat, which helps her explore creative ideas without judging them too quickly. Meanwhile, a buddy assignment led her to explore Atomic Habits and apply practical time-management ideas to her daily routine.

Beyond these lessons, Chioma has noticed growth in how she communicates and works with others. These experiences have strengthened her communication skills and taught her to listen to different perspectives while remaining open to learning.

Her message to fellow Student Climbers is to make the most of the opportunity. “Take the programme seriously,” she advises. For Chioma, it is an opportunity to learn, grow and have fun while becoming a more dependable leader who puts lessons into practice.

Meet Shalom Makwinja, a fourth-year Computer Network Engineering student Climber at the University of Malawi - UNIMA who is using technology to address gender-based violence (GBV).

As Project Manager at Ada’s Foundation, Shalom is leading the development of a system designed to help people report GBV safely and anonymously. The idea came from recognising that many survivors remain silent because they fear threats, retaliation or further abuse after reporting their experiences.

The system allows users to report incidents anonymously while providing GPS location details to help the police locate where the violence is taking place. It also features an emergency SOS button that transmits the location of someone in immediate danger within three seconds, helping authorities identify where urgent assistance is needed.

Through this innovation, Shalom and the team at Ada’s Foundation are working towards making reporting safer and using technology to address a serious social challenge. At Kwera, we celebrate Student Climbers who apply their knowledge and skills to create solutions that can make a difference in their communities.

Kwera Student Climbers at Kamuzu University of Health Sciences- Mahatma Gandhi Campus recently came together for a get-together. The gathering brought together 45 students for a mix of fun, connection and learning.

The session featured music, poetry and freestyle. It also included a practical Job Vacancy Training led by Emmanuel Wellman Banda, Head of Learning and Development at Kwera. Using a Health Services Officer vacancy as a case study, students learned how to identify what an employer is looking for and how to align their CVs and applications with specific opportunities.

Through questions and answers, group work and presentations, students had the opportunity to apply what they had learned. Student Climbers were encouraged to start preparing for opportunities before graduation by pursuing leadership programmes, fellowships and other experiences that build skills and strengthen their CVs.

The session was part of Kwera’s Skills Building Program, equipping Student Climbers with practical skills to support their transition from university into the workplace.

Over the weekend, Kwera welcomed first-year Student Climbers at Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources City Campus and NRC, in a session that brought together 47 students, including 20 new Student Climbers.

The session also marked an important transition as City Campus and NRC began operating as an independent Kwera community from Bunda. Kwera’s Learning Program Coordinator, Joel Nkomanji led the personal branding and LinkedIn session, centred on a key question: Who do you need to be today to become the person you want to be in the future?

The discussion encouraged students to think beyond graduation and start building their professional identity while still at university. Through taking up opportunities, contributing to their communities, inspiring others and gaining practical experience, students can begin preparing for the world of work long before they graduate.

Learning Advisor, Ellen Mwafulirwa also engaged the students on how communities operate, highlighting the importance of participation, responsibility and working together to build a strong Student Climber community.

The welcoming session created a space for new Student Climbers to connect, learn and begin thinking intentionally about the people and professionals they want to become.
