that will help them to stop relying on employment but build their own businesses for the success of their communities and churches around them.
I am very passionate about becoming a leader, not only in Malawi but the whole Africa, teaching the youth to become leaders who can lead like Christ in their different positions. I studied Journalism and many other health related courses. Apart from this, I got a scholarship to study at African Christian College in Swaziland (currently called Eswatini), and I am studying bachelor of theology major in leadership. This is so because my passion is just to transform African by equipping the youth who I believe they are the leaders of tomorrow with authentic leadership and business skills so that together we can end poverty.
I am exited to join CLI, and I hope I am going to learn more about leadership and how to manage conflict in an organizational setting."
