Empowering Youth Through Establishment of a Digital Skills and Remote Jobs Hub in Ntchenachena

About this Project

Building on the community’s commitment to youth empowerment, the Ntchenachena Telecenter will utilize $9,995.43 in Mudzi Connect grant funds to be transformed into a Digital Skills and Remote Jobs Hub that equips 30 rural youth in Rumphi District with practical digital competencies. The project will utilize newly installed Starlink internet, 30 desktop computers, and a mini-library of 200 technical manuals to deliver structured training in data entry, website development, graphic design, and AI data labeling. Participants will be connected to global freelance platforms such as Upwork and Fiverr, enabling them to secure remote work opportunities. To ensure sustainability, the hub will offer revenue-generating services including printing, scanning, mobile money, and internet access, while a “Train-the-Trainer” program will certify five youth as future instructors. Through this intervention, the Ntchenachena Digital Skills and Remote Jobs Hub will reduce unemployment and establish a lasting platform for digital innovation in Rumphi District.
