Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 49239, member: 636"] Malango Maganga wants more groups to teach young people job skills around Blantyre district. The civil society leader spoke at a special event where 36 students finished learning plumbing. Three local groups worked together to make this training happen. The ceremony took place in Lunzu and celebrated these new graduates. Maganga praised the groups for helping youth become independent. Hope for Girls and Women Foundation teamed up with Young Mind Development Organisation and Chitani Community Sustainable Development Organisation. These groups taught practical skills that students can use to make money. Maganga told the graduates they should start their companies instead of waiting for someone to hire them. He asked NEEF to give cheap loans to help young people open businesses. The leader believes this approach will change many lives across the region. Blantyre has more than 100 organizations that could train young people. Maganga thinks each group should teach useful skills to students who need work. He wants to see youth become financially independent and help the country grow stronger. Director Tendai Malinda plans to train 100 more students this year. This goal matches with Malawi's 2063 plan to empower young citizens. Graduate Cynthia Smart thanked everyone for the support she received during training. She plans to use her new plumbing skills to create a business. Smart believes the knowledge will help her family and relatives improve their lives. The program shows what happens when communities invest in their young people. These success stories inspire other groups to start similar training programs. [/QUOTE]
