Across Kenya, thousands of young people, including refugees and members of host communities, face significant barriers to employment and entrepreneurship. While many are eager to build sustainable livelihoods, limited access to market-relevant skills, business support, limited digital opportunities, and employment pathways often stands in the way.

Grounded in more than 40 years of experience creating opportunities for young people, WUSC continues in it's longstanding commitment to creating education and economic opportunities for young people, particularly those affected by displacement. By working alongside local organizations, training institutions, private sector actors, and refugee-led partners, we continue to create more inclusive pathways to livelihoods and economic resilience.

This World Refugee Day, we stand in solidarity with millions forced to flee conflict and persecution worldwide. We believe that true safety is rooted in dignity, education, and opportunity.

For decades, we’ve worked alongside displaced youth to turn the promise of protection into a reality. Because until everyone is safe to learn, earn, and thrive, our work is not done.

Today, WUSC Malawi is celebrating Earth Day 🌍

Across Malawi, we are proud to work alongside dedicated partners and communities who are leading the way in building climate resilience, sustainable livelihoods, and protecting the natural environments we all rely on.

Earth Day is a powerful reminder that the health of our planet is a shared responsibility. The choices we make—both individually and collectively—shape the future of our environment. By supporting local solutions and working together, small actions can grow into lasting impact 💙

Last week, the ACT Project hosted a 4-day Data Management Training in Blantyre and Lilongwe, bringing together a total of 35 dedicated community facilitators and government stakeholders. These facilitators play a vital role in supporting and overseeing groups of home-based caregivers, centre-based caregivers, and enterprise owners within their communities.

The training focused on strengthening data collection practices by sharing practical tools and approaches to improve how information is gathered across groups. Beyond data management, the participants also reflected on key lessons, discussed challenges, and explored possible solutions together.

The project team recognizes the facilitators’ dedication and the successful mobilization of childcare providers into groups. Such progress builds vital momentum for a more professional and coordinated childcare sector.

Supported by Canada’s International Development – Global Affairs Canada, the ACT project aims to advance the economic empowerment of childcare providers in Malawi and Kenya.
