Women in Malawi
Women in Malawi
Malawian women have a long history of forming and participating in organisations such as saving-clubs, church groups, entrepreneurial clubs, arts and crafts groups and the like.
They are eager to engage in public life and improve their prospects for political inclusion.
Elections postponed
However, the recent postponement of the local elections is a huge blow to the work being done by the Malawi Women’s Lobby which has been…
"We believe that by reaching a woman we are reaching a nation because we know the big role the women are playing in the society.
If we are reaching the woman we are reaching the husband and all the children in the family"
For most of these women even to raise 1 dollar is a very big challenge.
With tools such as sewing machines, the women can learn a skill which can provide them with a steady income and contribute to their ability to save.
Such skills and tools would have a very big impact on their lives. They would be able to easily pass on such skills to their children.
The programme could be rolled out into other areas where we are in the process of establishing our organisation..
And it will create a bond between donors and the communities."
January Watchman, Executive Director, SURCOD.
