Education over labor. Opportunity over early marriage.
Youth-led advocacy in Kalolo District
The Kalolo Youth Organization is an advocacy group working so children in the Kalolo District have a real opportunity to be educated—instead of being forced into labor or early marriage.
With support from a small grant through One Love One World, the organization has strengthened its formal footing in Malawi. That progress is opening the door to longer-term community programs, including plans for a small program space and maker space.
