Samalani student Amina Makuta made local newspaper The Nation on April 12th 2010, bringing great publicity to Samalani and its work. 

Samuel Chibaya, the journalist who is to thank for this story, has been working side by side with Samson. He is very interested in the work of the centre, infact, he is so enthusiastic that Samson and Samuel phone each other almost on a weekly basis.
The article itself speaks about the daily struggle which affects so many young people in Malawi.

“While at Samalani I have learnt knitting, business management skills and issues to do with HIV / AIDS”.

“Having learnt business skills, Amina plans to get employed or start a business. Interestingly, she is willing to work at the youth organisation that helped her attain her skills.”

“I can help my fellow vulnerable children acquire skills that can enable them be self reliant. By teaching others, I know that I will also be enhancing my skills”


 Many thanks to both Samuel and Amina for spreading Samalani's word.
