YOUTH
Through this program we have managed to facilitate the establishment of two girls clubs at Muluma and Chiperere FP schools. This has created a conducing space where the girls are sharing ideas and seek solutions to problem facing them in their everyday life.
Women Economic Empowerment
On this thematic area YOWORI has trained 35 teen mothers in tailoring and designing skills. These young women are doing a group business aiming to grow their business together and to be sharing the profits for them to support their families and their education needs for those willing to go back to school.HIV/AIDS (inclusive HIV/AIDS fight)
YOWORI has been doing awareness on HIV/AIDS. Since 2016, YOWORI has been distributing condoms and lubricants to the youth around the catchment area. This service was also extended to Zomba since it’s a boarder with Chiradzulu.
My new kitchen is a dream come true and everything I hoped for. Pat and the rest of the crew were most helpful every step of the way to bring my dream to reality.
Even though I felt job was small, it was obvious that your company takes great pride in detail of the finished work. I would say that you exceeded my expectations.
