Meet Hulubai Issa, one of the community members who are being targeted by the Social Protection for Gender Equality and Resilience (SP-GEAR) project interventions in Nsanje.
Before the project, which aims at reducing vulnerability and enhance resilience among women, girls and marginalized groups, Issa was staying in a grass thatched house and wasn’t able to pay for her children’s school fees, but now, that’s a story of the past.
“I now manage to send my children to school and feed them, I have also bought timber for the roofing of my house, my life is changing, and it is all thanks to SP-GEAR project” said Issa who was wearing a bright smile.
Issa is part of the numerous success stories being registered under the project’s social cash transfer which is funded by UNICEF and implemented by the Malawi government with complimentary support from YONECO.
YONECO, UNICEF, and officials from the Malawi government are in Nsanje district to assess the progress of the project that commenced in June this year and is scheduled to continue until 2026.
