Welcome back to campus MUBAS students!

Our GenWell Committee at the Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences- MUBAS hit the ground running. They kicked off the semester by delivering a mental health session for first-year students and registering new members.

This semester, the team is focusing on creating deeper engagement and stronger support systems so every student feels seen, heard, and supported.

We are incredibly proud to be part of this story. Every GenWell Club we establish is on a mission to reach every young person in their community with mental health information and support.

Happy new week!

We are excited to celebrate our Lilongwe Chapter fellows as they graduate from the Resilient Mind Fellowship.

Throughout the programme, they engaged with modules on various mental health conditions, leadership, and storytelling, and put their learning into practice through a community project.

We are so proud of how far they have come. Go out there and keep making impact.

Achina Desire, Lindiwe and Ken, we celebrate you! 🎉🎉🥂🥂

Learning visit: Ladder to Learning 📚

Our team spent the last Thursday with the Ladder to Learning family, appreciating their work improving educational outcomes for children.

Their teachers and community champions are making sure no student is left behind in reading and literacy skills.

We also visited Livimbo Primary School for a mental health session on stress, anxiety and depression. One of our Resilient Mind Fellows, Ken Chulu, shared how he overcame bullying in his early school years. Teachers, community champions, fellows, and students all had a voice in the conversation.

Thank you, Ladder to Learning, for having us.

Thank you Caring Hands Malawi for hosting us. We have learnt a lot from you and we look forward to making more impact together.

Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting the iMind team and its Founder, Mercy Mkandawire, at Caring Hands. Mercy and our Founder, Christine, are both Z Zurich Foundation Scholars and One Young World Ambassadors, making the visit even more special.

It was a wonderful opportunity to share our work, learn more about the incredible initiatives being led by iMind Malawi, and explore opportunities for collaboration in advancing mental health services across Malawi and beyond.

Here’s to working together to improve mental health outcomes for our communities.

Leadership in Action! 💚

George Chidawati, President of the Generation Wellness Club at MUBAS, is taking mental health awareness straight to the community, conducting a session at Gambula Primary School in Limbuli Zone, Mulanje. This is the ripple effect of investing in young leaders.

On 26th June 2026, our Executive Director, Mercy Mkandawire and Programme Planning and Monitoring Manager, Thomson Kutani had the privilege of meeting with Yannik Schenk, a Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Nova School of Business and Economics, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, and affiliated with Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA).

The discussion centred on the intersection of poverty and mental health, and how implementation research can drive the expansion of mental health communication to underserved and hard-to-reach communities. The team explored the key factors underlying mental health challenges and the critical role of evidence-based approaches in developing practical, scalable solutions.

It was an energising exchange and we look forward to the possibilities this collaboration may unlock. 💚
