Destiny College of Leadership and Development Studies in Balaka District handed out degrees and certificates to 203 graduates on Monday, and the main message from speakers was pretty clear: stop waiting around for jobs and start making them instead. Principal Bishop Andrew Mankhanamba told the crowd that the training is built around Malawi's Vision 2063 plan, and he said the whole point is turning students into people who create opportunities rather than chase them. He mentioned job openings are basically nonexistent right now, so graduates need to flip the script.
Dr Joe Bonga from International Christian Youthworks-Africa showed up as the guest of honor and praised the students for sticking it out through their programs. Graduate Ivy Faith Sande said she feels pumped to take what she learned and actually do something useful with it back home. The students finished programs in stuff like Social Work, Leadership and Development Studies, and Welding and Fabrication.
