“While people see food waste, we see an income opportunity.” 🌱💚

Yesterday, women participating in the “Empowering Women for Sustainable Waste Management: Women for BSFL Cultivation in Nsanje District” initiative conducted a food waste collection exercise at Nsanje Market.

Instead of allowing food waste to end up in landfills, the women are turning it into a valuable resource. The collected waste is sorted and broken into smaller pieces before being given to our Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae as feed.

The larvae will, in turn, be harvested and processed for use as nutritious livestock feed, creating an opportunity for women to generate income while contributing to cleaner communities and more sustainable waste management.

Food waste → BSF larvae → Livestock feed → Income → Stronger livelihoods. ♻️💰🐓

This initiative, implemented by Native Youth Animators for Development (NYADE) with funding from Malawi Environmental Endowment Trust , demonstrates how a community can transform an environmental challenge into an economic opportunity.

What others see as waste, these women are turning into opportunity, income, and action for a cleaner and more resilient Nsanje. 🌍

“Ntchentche Yokuda” — this is how women in Nsanje District refer to the Black Soldier Fly (BSF). 😁🔥

With support from Malawi Environmental Endowment Trust , NYADE has trained women in Nsanje in Black Soldier Fly cultivation, equipping them with practical skills to turn food waste into an economic opportunity.
Through BSF cultivation, the women can generate income by producing and selling BSF larvae as livestock feed, helping them strengthen their livelihoods and move towards greater economic independence.
At the same time, this initiative will help to protect the environment. ♻️🌍 Instead of food waste ending up in landfills, it is diverted and used as feed for BSF larvae—turning waste into a valuable resource.

From food waste to larvae. From larvae to livestock feed. From waste to income. 🌱

NYADE visited Tiyanjane Women’s Group to monitor progress in briquette production — and we’re excited to see the women putting their skills into practice! 💪🏾

The photos tell the story: women independently making briquettes on their own, turning knowledge into action and waste into a cleaner, more sustainable source of energy. 🌍♻️

This is what empowerment looks like — skills, action, income and climate resilience in the hands of women. 🔥
