The equipment totaled K25 million and was distributed to the women who attained technical skills in food production, baking, beauty therapy, and tailoring.

Project Marketing Officer of SOS Ruth Chomboto said, “the project mostly targets young women with no formal education, survivors of gender based violence, and single mothers as a way to provide a second chance to help rebuild their livelihood and aspirations.

She further remarked that the initiative was necessary because the women are now self-sufficient and it aligns with Malawi’s national plan for 2063, promoting gender-transformative approaches to enhance women’s economic empowerment.

Ruth Dissi, one of the graduates of SOS, expressed her gratitude to SOS Children’s Village for empowering the young women to be able to attain the skills that will create a self-sufficient female community.
