Empowering children, women, and youth through learning, literacy, and vocational skills training programs across Northern Malawi.
In Northern Malawi, many women and girls face significant barriers to education — from school fees and early marriage to distance from learning centres. EWDO's Education & Skills Development program directly addresses these barriers by bringing learning opportunities to communities.
Our programs range from adult literacy classes and vocational skills training to mentorship schemes for secondary school girls. We partner with schools, training institutions, and community groups to deliver high-quality, accessible education.
Everything we do is guided by one belief: an educated woman is an empowered woman who uplifts her entire family and community.
Structured literacy and numeracy classes for adult women who missed out on formal schooling.
Practical training in tailoring, catering, hairdressing, and small business management.
One-on-one and group mentorship to keep girls in school and support their ambitions.
Flexible learning programs for out-of-school youth and working women.
Basic computer and smartphone training to open up new economic opportunities.
Safe spaces where women and girls can access learning resources year-round.
"I dropped out of school at 14 to help my family. I thought that was the end of my education. Then EWDO came to our village with their vocational training program. I learned tailoring and business skills. Today I run my own sewing business and I employ two women from my village."
