Chisa youth club which is an affiliate of Chisangalalo Free Nursery School cleaned up Khwisa market on Friday.
The youths from Khwisa Township, Sub-Traditional Authority Matola in Balaka district are on awareness of sanitation development in the area.
Mustaph Komanje, Chisangalalo Free Nursery communications officer said the organization noted a big gap in terms of youth participation in development activities in their area due to high unemployment rate among the youths.
According to him the youths were busy smoking, taking alcoholic substances and engaging themselves in other bad behaviors and that was the main reason the organization formed youth clubs at village level to act as a forum for the youths to brainstorm challenges affecting the communities and coming up with the solutions to the challenges.
“We believe that young people are the drivers and changers of the country’s socio-economic development. Sadly, in many situations we tend to leave them behind when making decisions and this is why we thought that if we can bring the young boys and girls together in form of a youth club, we can certainly be on a right path in terms of instilling good manners in them, which is essential to the development of the area as well as the district and the Nation,” Komanje said.
He added that the cleaning exercise is a product of the youths meetings after noting that the facility was lacking sanitation and that the organization has many dreams to fulfill but due to financial and resource problems the organisation fails since funds are sourced from individual members.
“We ask for well-wishers, the donor community, to help us in cash and kind so that we can have a much bigger impact in our projects,” Komanje explained.
Chisangalalo Free Nursery School is a non-profit making organization which was founded by Michael Ndelemani in 2018. Its aim was to provide childhood development education to children in the remote area and it has now expanded the areas to different projects since it was registered as a non-governmental organization.
