In January, we hosted a two day motivational and interactive gathering for EKARI's college students focused on entrepreneurship, resilience, and health.
On the first day, a young Malawian entrepreneur, Gift Sukez Sukali, shared his story of how he created and continues to grow his business. He emphasized the importance of starting a business to create jobs for the many unemployed youth in Malawi. Next, a past student, Laston, told his story of resilience. After being underemployed for some time and continuously searching for a better opportunity, Laston finally obtained a job relevant to his college studies. Finally, a health expert spoke with the students about self-care and sex education while in college.
On the second day, the students discussed challenges that their families and communities face and brainstormed solutions. EKARI's goal is for the students we support to become leaders in their communities and one day help to solve the challenges that their families face on a daily basis.
