OVERVIEW
An energetic community, Dream Village, in rural central Malawi is seeking to achieve 2 objectives; to create a strong income source by starting business to support increasing youths, and to establish global youths network through the internet where various people can exchange ideas and create exciting future together.
WHY THEY NEED HELP
Currently 64% of the total population in Malawi is under the age of 24. In Dream Village there are 11 members, supporting more than 6000 youths. Because of its capacity, the shortage of capital is always a challenge. Yet depending on the donation is not sustainable, hence they are looking forward to start business to secure their income source. That's why your support is needed for the initial investment.
“Business means more than just an income source for us.” says Director of Vision of The Youth Organization, Maxwell Smaili. “It gives good learning environment for youths to grow entrepreneur spirits.”
WHO ARE THE CHANGE MAKERS IN DREAM VILLAGE
In the rural community in Central Malawi there are 11 passionate young members, working to expand the possibility of thousands of youths. Full of energy, passion, and hope, they are sending a message to dream chasers in the world.
Don’t just support African youths by donation. Join our network and let’s create something together.
“Here young people are starving. ”says Kohei Hirota, Project Coordinator of Dream Village. “Starving for the opportunities.”
WHY BACK OUR PROJECT
We extremely care about our donor’s benefit as well. Unlike other projects you do not just pledge for Dream Village, but through your participation in the youth network, we all get involved, learn from each other, and make progress toward our goals.
“I can’t wait to operate business with young people.” Says Business Professional, Maxwell Sinoya. “I learned so much through business and it’s time for them.”
WHAT WILL WE DO WITH THE MONEY
With $1950 we can start the production of fish, papaya, honey bee, and goat, in order to establish a strong income source to continuously support the youths, but we are aiming the next level. With $2750, in addition to the income source, we can install the internet system to create the global youth network which enables the youths to expand their perspective broadly and to search for more opportunities in a global scale.
