Let's arise Youth Club

This morning, Let’s Arise Youth Club joined MYASHE, Mzuzu City Youth Network, Mzuzu City Council, and other community groups for a clean-up exercise at Chiyaleyale Market.

From 6:00 AM, our members were on the ground collecting waste, and tidying up one of Mzuzu’s busiest trading areas. The turnout was great, and the energy was even better!

Youth want to be involved in things that matter and this is it. Real impact isn’t always glamorous, but it’s powerful.

When young people show up for our community, Mzuzu gets cleaner, healthier, and stronger.

As the organizers said today: “Come and grab/bring your sache.” Let's arise did.

Let’s Arise Youth Club remains committed to environmental action.

Big Shoutout to everyone who showed up and put in the work.

Let’s Arise Youth Club joined other youth led groups for the launch of the ACTIVE Project training with VSO. The focus was on IPC Analysis and Power Mapping, practical tools to understand inclusion, power dynamics, and how decisions are made in our communities.

The session was officially opened by the Mzuzu District Youth Officer, Mr. Misheck Msokwa, who encouraged us to take this knowledge back and share it widely to strengthen youth led action.

Representing Let’s Arise Youth Club were Maxwel Junior Mkandawire, Eunice Banda, and Dhumisani Thanks. The training gave them space to engage, connect with other young leaders, and learn together through case studies and group discussions.

For Let’s Arise, this training ties directly to our mission to push young people to lead, speak up, and drive change where it matters most. As we move forward with the ACTIVE Project, we are committed to applying these tools across our communities and making sure youth voices shape the solutions.

Today, Let’s Arise Youth Club attended a meeting at the Centre for Girls & Interaction (CEGI), where youth-led organizations gathered to learn about the Brave Movement and its mission to end sexual violence against children and adolescents.

The meeting brought together several youth clubs and organizations, including Umunthu LEAD , Save the Generation, Soweto Youth Club, Zolozolo Youth Clubs, and others working across communities.

Also in attendance was Councillor Hilwet Wiseman Mkandawire of Zolozolo West, who expressed strong interest in youth activities and pledged support for local efforts to protect children.

The BRAVE Movement Malawi team used the session to introduce their work and invite youth-led groups to become part of the campaign. The focus: joining hands to end sexual violence against children and adolescents now.

Let’s Arise Youth Club representative Henry Munthali said the message resonated strongly.

“This is crucial, and Let’s Arise members will welcome this with open hands,” said Munthali.

“If we join the BRAVE Movement and use its resources alongside the structures we already have, we can make a real impact and contribute to this movement.”

Just 22 days ago, our youth club decided to take action. We ventured into agribusiness by starting a vegetable garden, and the progress has been incredible.

We began with nothing but determination and a patch of land. We prepared the beds, planted the seeds, and waited. Watching those first green shoots push through the dark soil was a proud moment for all of us.

Today, as you can see in the photos below, our seedlings are strong and have been transplanted into neat rows across the field. Every morning, members of our group are out there watering, weeding, and learning together.

Most of us are new to farming. We grew up in the city, used to buying everything from the market. We didn’t know what it felt like to grow your own food. But now, hands in the soil, we’re discovering that agriculture is not just hard work. It is knowledge, patience, and hope.

Why are we doing this?

1. For income. We want our youth group to have a reliable source of money. Selling fresh vegetables will help us fund our activities and support members, instead of always waiting for always waiting for sponsorship.

2. For our community. Too many people in our area travel long distances to buy vegetables at affordable price. Our garden will bring fresh, affordable produce right here, closer to home.

3. For education. This is a classroom without walls. We are teaching each other how to grow food, what works, what does not, and why not every crop should be planted. If one member gets inspired to start their own backyard garden or even a full vegetable business someday, then we have succeeded.

This project is about more than vegetables. It is about food security, practical skills, and changing how youth see themselves from consumers to producers.

And as these photos show, we are already growing.

Let’s Arise Youth Club participated in a comprehensive agricultural training hosted by PACE for Social Change

The initiative brought together representatives from youth clubs and CBOs in Mzuzu who share a strong interest in agriculture but lack structured, entry-level guidance.

The sessions were facilitated by Adrian Mtambo(seed man) and agriculture expert from Tiyeni Organisation providing technical, field-tested insights.

As a club that has newly launched a vegetable farming project, this training was strategic. We received practical instruction on land preparation, crop management, and agribusiness fundamentals. Crucially, we also toured the demonstration farm where PACE for Social Change will conduct the practical sessions for this program. Seeing the systems and the land gave us a clear picture of how the training will move from theory to practice.

We extend sincere appreciation to PACE for Social Change for convening this program and to the facilitators from Tiyeni Organisation for addressing the start-up gap for youth in agriculture. This is how potential becomes productivity.

Let’s Arise Youth Club is committed to applying these skills, scaling our vegetable farming initiative, and pursuing deeper learning in the sector.

We don’t just want to farm. We want to farm smart.
