Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Government has commended a local NGO \u2013 Zoe Empowers Malawi for the role it is playing in empowering lives of orphaned and vulnerable youths in Dowa district.<\/p>\n

Assistant social welfare officer in the ministry of gender, children, disability and social welfare \u2013 Rabson Limbikani made the remarks recently at Mponera in Dowa during the graduation ceremony of some youths who have completed their three-year cycle in the organisation\u2019s empowerment programme.<\/p>\n

Limbikani said that as one of the non-governmental organisations operating in the country, Zoe Empowers Malawi is complementing government\u2019s efforts in ensuring that all youths are given opportunities to nurture their talents and skills so as to be able to utilize them for the betterment of their lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs government, we do appreciate Zoe\u2019s role in helping uplift lives of orphans and vulnerable youths in the district,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe various empowerment activities that the organisation initiates in the area are also integral to the country\u2019s efforts in its bid to attain vision 2063,\u201d added Limbikani.<\/p>\n

He further added that for a country to develop, all development stakeholders including the youths must be given equal opportunities to participate in various development activities. It is against this background that Limbikani applauded Zoe for providing such opportunity to the orphaned youths by training them and giving them micro grants and vocational startup kits to establish businesses.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, member of parliament for the area \u2013 Darlington Harawa concurred with Limbikani, saying that since the coming of the organisation in the area, thousands of households have benefited.<\/p>\n

Harawa therefore urged the organisation continue reaching out to more orphaned youths so as to continue accelerating socio-economic development in the area and the country in general.<\/p>\n

Zoe Empowers\u2019 CEO \u2013 Gaston Warner expressed satisfaction with the progress the organisation is making and assured the government of continued support to the youths.<\/p>\n

Zoe Empowers Malawi works with the orphaned and vulnerable youths in the areas of health and hygiene, spiritual strengthening, food security, education, income generation, child rights, housing and community connections.<\/p>\n
