Recently, we celebrated the graduation of 58 young women from our Skills Training Program. In this video, they share what this milestone means to them, the excitement, the gratitude, and the hope they have for the future.

For many of these graduates, this is the beginning of a new chapter. With certificates in Hair Dressing and Fashion & Designing, they are leaving as confident and empowered entrepreneurs.

We were delighted to attend the UrbanPromise Malawi Affiliate Summit in Lilongwe this weekend.

This year’s theme, “Relevance and Resilience for Lasting Impact,” challenged and inspired us to reflect on how we can continue creating meaningful, lasting change in the communities we serve.

The summit provided a valuable opportunity to connect with staff from fellow affiliate organizations, exchange ideas, and learn from an inspiring guest speaker. We were also proud to showcase the creativity and talent of our student fashion designers during the fashion show segment.

We leave the summit encouraged, inspired, and even more committed to empowering young people.

Thanking all the parents who attended the AfterSchool Program Parents-Teacher’s meeting today.

Beyond academics, these meetings help us strengthen relationships, encourage collaboration, and ensure that every child receives the support they need both at home and in the program.

There are moments that remind us why investing in young people matters.

A few years ago, Chifundo served as our Afterschool Programs Coordinator at Young and Empowered Malawi. He faithfully poured into the lives of children and youth in our community, often going beyond his job description to make sure our students were supported and encouraged.

Today, we are proud to see him continuing his education at Cairn University in the United States, where he is pursuing his Master’s degree. But what inspires us even more is his vision for what comes next.

When Chifundo returns home to Malawi, he plans to launch a farming project to provide food for the children in our after-school program while creating a sustainable source of support for our organization’s work.

This is bigger than agriculture. It is about dignity, sustainability, and most importantly, young leaders returning home with solutions for their communities. We are inviting friends, partners, and supporters to help us begin laying the foundation for this vision. Your support will help us invest in land preparation, farming inputs, irrigation, and the long-term sustainability of a project that could impact hundreds of children and families.

If you would like to support this dream and be part of building a sustainable future for Young and Empowered Malawi, click on this link https://give.urbanpromiseinternational.org/campaign/748765/donate to learn more and make a contribution.

Together, we can grow hope, opportunity, and lasting change.
