Tiwale means, “let us shine or glow,” in Chichewa. We are a youth founded & led community-based organization in Mtsiliza, Lilongwe, Malawi focused on supporting women and girls through educational, entrepreneurial, and economical opportunities. Tiwale launched with a team of five young people between ages 14 and 19 years old in 2012. The project’s initial focus was a business workshop that was to be followed by micro-loans. This enables 40 women to start businesses. Tiwale then diversified to vocation skills training offering fashion design, sewing, and tie-dye workshops engaging 66 women. The products made in these programs enabled us to buy land and build a community center offering after-school homework support, a library, and learning center. Tiwale also offers education grants to promising community members. Since 2012 Tiwale has directly supported 313 women and girls and reached 20,000+ youth in workshops and digital campaigns.
