The meeting, held at the chief's headquarters, brought together members of Active Youth Organization for Development (AYOD) and Chiwoko Zone Youth Network to address climate change action, youth empowerment and gender equality.
Participants explored several environmental initiatives including tree planting, sustainable farming practices and the promotion of organic fertilizers to reduce carbon emissions.
The discussion also focused on encouraging young people to pursue agricultural entrepreneurship and providing training on value addition to farm products.

Golden Girls Netball Team
Golden Girls Netball Team
LILONGWE, Malawi
The Golden Girls Netball Team launched in Kaliyeka, Lilongwe on 26 March 2024, and quickly proved they belonged. in their first season, the under-17 squad competed in the Mpicco League and secured fourth place, a result built on discipline, talent and determination. In 2025, the team was preparing for Mpicco Division 2 League.
The move brought tougher competition and greater demands: stronger preparation, better equipment and increased logistical support. NKONO has been backing the team, not simply because sport can be a powerful space for youth development. The partnership is built on shared values; nurturing young talent, building discipline and confidence, and encouraging young people to develop a mindset rooted in innovation, ambition and purpose-driven action inline with Malawi Vision 2063.
NKONO sees beyond the scoreboard. The team is a space where young athletes can develop leadership, confidence and discipline.

Kaliyeka Secondary School: Students took on the National Debt
By Benard Mbowe
LILONGWE, Malawi - 21 November 2025
The Chiyambi Chabwino Initiative brought a national economic question into the classroom: Should the Government of Malawi borrow money from other countries?
Students did not settle for easy answers. They presented arguments, challemged one another and showed a strong grasp of an issue that reaches far beyond the classroom.
Guest speaker, Mr. Kelvin Chizauni shifted the conversation towards entrepreneurship and financial discipline, encouraging students to start developing business ideas, manage resources wisely and think about creating opportunities rather than simply waiting for them.
The session was facilitated by Mr. Mathias Sinyangwe, NKONO Chaiperson, alongside Mr. Benard Mbowe from the Media Team.
