Former President and leader of the Other folks’s Occasion (PP), Joyce Banda, says her focal level is on empowering girls and teens as a method for nationwide vogue — and she’s already making strides.
Speaking in Mtandire, Lilongwe, for the length of a skills training session organized by the Joyce Banda Foundation, Banda published that she has already secured 100,000 job opportunities foreign for Malawian youths.
“These jobs are ready. The countries are waiting. What we now need is to prepare our young people with the right skills and support,” said Banda.
The educational session centered on cleansing soap making, cooking oil production, and body oil manufacturing — half of her foundation’s broader imaginative and prescient to equip formative years and girls with wise, earnings-producing skills. She emphasized that right vogue begins when residents, particularly girls and formative years, are self-reliant.
“This is not just theory. When I was president, I introduced motorcycle taxis and other youth-focused programs that worked. My vision has always been about empowerment,” Banda said.
She wired that creating opportunities for girls and formative years is now not charity — or now not it’s an investment in Malawi’s future. “When a woman earns, the entire household benefits. When a youth is empowered, the nation progresses,” she added.
Joyce Banda is among 17 presidential hopefuls who have silent nomination papers for the highly anticipated September 16 elections.
Along with her message rooted in empowerment and opportunity, Banda is positioning herself as a vogue-centered candidate — one who guarantees now not handiest to chat about replace, but to bring it through motion.
