A visit to Enukweni/Kavula in Mzimba with Government Officials

A Day of Hope and Impact: Government Officials Visit Community Hope Initiative Projects in Enukweni and Kavula

On 7th July 2025, Community Hope Initiative proudly hosted a high-level delegation of government officials from the District Gender Office, Youth Office, Social Welfare, and Community Development on a special field visit to project sites in Enukweni and Kavula.

🌟 First Stop: Empowering Youth Through Skills
The tour began at the motorbike mechanic training centre, where youths are undergoing a life-changing vocational program. With just two months into their training, the young trainees showcased exceptional skills—going beyond expectations. It was inspiring to witness their enthusiasm and hands-on expertise as they confidently worked on motorbike engines. The progress is nothing short of impressive, offering these young people a real chance at economic independence.

🌿 Second Stop: Cultivating Prosperity Through Farming
Next, the delegation visited Mr. Gumbo Kasambara, one of the lead farmers supported by Community Hope Initiative alongside 49 others. His vibrant winter farm was a true testimony to hard work and transformation. Rows of green maize, beans, peas, sweet potatoes, cabbages, pumpkin leaves, and other cash crops painted a picture of hope and abundance. Mr. Kasambara shared how farming has not only improved his household diet but also increased his income—reflecting the ripple effect on the wider community.

👥 Final Gathering: Voices of Change at Kavula
The final stop was a community gathering at Kavula Primary School Grounds, bringing together members of Self-Help Groups (SHGs), vocational training graduates, farmers, and local leaders. Here, stories of transformation flowed freely. SHG members spoke passionately about how the groups have empowered them economically. Youths shared how vocational training has opened doors to employment. Farmers expressed how their lives have changed through modern agricultural practices.

🎤 Community Leader Mr. Zaya Mhango gave a heartfelt vote of thanks, acknowledging the tremendous role Community Hope Initiative has played in uplifting the lives of his people.

This visit was more than just a field trip—it was a celebration of progress, resilience, and partnerships that work. For Community Hope Initiative, it marks yet another milestone that strengthens ties with government and reinforces our mission to create lasting change.
