Empowering local artisans through skill-building and entrepreneurship in Malawi.
The Problem
Many individuals in Malawi struggle with unemployment and lack of vocational training, limiting their ability to support their families. Akonda addresses these issues by equipping men and women with essential vocational skills and business training.
Our Solution
Akonda provides students with hands-on training in tailoring and entrepreneurship. With your help, they receive the equipment needed to start their own businesses, fostering economic growth and self-sufficiency.
Impact
Thanks to your investment of $3,500, we provided sewing machines, graduation caps, gowns, and certificates to our graduates. These newly skilled tailors are now equipped to start their own businesses, bringing hope, dignity, and opportunity to their communities.
How You Can Help
Your continued support helps us provide more opportunities for aspiring artisans. Whether through donations or spreading the word, you can help us empower more individuals through vocational training and entrepreneurship.
Graduation Celebration
We were able to celebrate these 50 recent graduates by providing them with their own sewing machines and a graduation ceremony.
“This graduation ceremony is more than just a one-day event; it’s a culmination of a life-changing journey for the students, their families, and their communities. This milestone marks the beginning of a new chapter, filled with hope, opportunity, and promise.”
