Meet the ladies… Charity Chilombo

Over the next few months we will be posting a few short interviews with the lovely Mayamiko ladies in Malawi.  That way, you can get to know them a little better and see how they are empowering themselves through skills training and education and striving for a better future. First, we will meet Mayamiko’s teacher, Charity Chilombo.

What did you do before this job?

Before I started teaching the ladies, I was working as a tailor. I was making all things I know, like baby wear, national wear, toilet sets, kitchen sets and many more. I also studied under the TEVET course where I did my Level 1 and now training in Level 2.

Now I am working with the ladies and their performance is very high, because they know what they are doing and after this course they don’t want to be the same as they were.

I like this job very much and I enjoy it.  At first as it was my first time teaching, I thought it was difficult for me but after starting and as time goes by, its easier and good because I am achieving what the ladies want to achieve.

What has been the highlight so far?

My highlight in teaching is interior decoration, baby wear and girls dresses, because here in Malawi people like to buy curtains and children’s clothes.  This is why I also want the ladies to know the simple things like these.

What do you want to do when Level 1 finishes?

I would wish for all the ladies to go to Level 2, so that they can learn more and become self employed.
