Our Community Project in Northern Malawi
Project in Northern Malawi
After four years of working in the southern region of Malawi, Pamoza decided to shift its focus to a new project in Mlowe village in the northern part of the country. In 2023, Pamoza rehabilitated an abandoned maize mill provided by the local traditional authority to be the community livelihoods skills training and arts center for people from Mlowe and neighboring communities.
Livelihood skills training for identified vulnerable youth and women in: creating art and decorative jewelry using recycled materials and beads, tailoring and design, hair styling and salon management, bamboo growing and furniture construction, soap making, and beekeeping
A restaurant and juice bar for enjoyment by trainees, trainers, and the local community
Bamboo farming in partnership with a local farmer association to grow and sell the bamboo
A local music, dance, art festival for the community
The Pamoza Shop for selling goods and services produced by Pamoza and its trainees
