For many young people, education is the first step out of poverty. But education must go hand in hand with practical skills and opportunities to earn a living.

SAPOF Field Officer Thokozani Chiwaya commented saying: "Young people need skills that respond to the realities of the world around them. These range from vocational skills and digital skills to entrepreneurship and financial literacy.

When we equip young people to earn, create and participate meaningfully in the economy, we strengthen their ability to break the cycle of poverty."

People with disabilities deserve opportunities to build skills, earn an income and live with financial independence.

We urge government and key stakeholders to invest in skills training, entrepreneurship and inclusive economic opportunities that can empower people with disabilities to become self-reliant while contributing to national development.

Thembisile Mvula, SAPOF Programs Manager, reiterated the call and said: “We must equip people with disabilities with practical skills and opportunities that can help them achieve financial freedom and become active contributors to the development of their communities and the nation.”

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to remind women and girls that early detection can save lives.

For women in rural communities, awareness must go hand in hand with access. Screening and breast health services should be available closer to where women live, so that distance, cost or lack of information does not stand between them and timely care.

“We must take breast cancer awareness and screening services to the women who need them most, especially those in rural communities. No woman should lose her life simply because she could not access information or services in time,” SAPOF Executive Director Alice Chiwaya said.

Today, our girls took part in self-defence training, learning simple techniques to protect themselves and respond confidently to bullying and other threats.

Beyond self-defence, the training builds self-discipline, courage, confidence and awareness - helping girls feel empowered to stand up for themselves and others.

Our elderly are not just people we care for — they are a source of wisdom, experience and knowledge that can help shape our future.

By valuing and involving older people in our communities, we can strengthen families, support livelihoods and contribute to poverty reduction and national development.

On this International Day of Older Persons, let us listen to our elders, respect their contributions and ensure they are part of building a better Malawi for everyone.

As we wrap up Su***de Prevention Month, the message should not end here. Preventing su***de is a shared responsibility that requires families, communities, schools, health workers, organisations, government and other stakeholders to actively listen, support people in distress, and make help easier to access.

When people are supported through difficult times, they have a better chance to remain engaged in school, work and their communities. This also matters in the fight against poverty, because protecting people’s wellbeing helps families and communities remain productive and resilient.

Commenting on the topic, KEEP4MEG Project Officer Takondwa Biyazawo said: "Let us keep the conversation going beyond this month by promoting mental wellbeing and support vulnerable people."

On International Translation Day, we celebrate the power of language to connect people and open doors to opportunity. When people can access information in a language they understand, they are better able to learn, make informed decisions and access essential services.

Translation can play an important role in reducing poverty by making knowledge on education, health, agriculture, jobs and economic opportunities accessible to more people.

SAPOF Field Officer Thokozani Chiwaya emphasizes, saying: "At the national level, translation strengthens inclusion, knowledge-sharing and participation. When people understand, they can participate—and when they participate, they contribute to development."

Today, as we mark the UN’s International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste, we are reminded of something simple: food that is lost or wasted is food that could have fed someone.

Commenting on the day, SAPOF Executive Director Alice Chiwaya said: "And with El Niño increasing the risk of drought, floods and extreme weather, we cannot afford to be careless with the food we have.

Think of the farmer who worked for months for a harvest, only to lose part of it because there was nowhere safe to store it. Think of a family stretching a small amount of food to make it through the week. Think of a child who goes to bed hungry."
