Malawi is one of the world's poorest countries. Education is essential to its development. By focusing on women, the overall impact is greater, going beyond the individual to entire families and the wider community.

We work with partners at each step of the journey from school to university to entering employment to ensure the best chance of success for the girls and women we work with.
At school...
We work in partnership with secondary schools to encourage young women to consider going to university, promoting its benefits and the possibility of support from Soko.
At university...
We work with Malawi's four public universities to provide scholarships to women from disadvantaged communities to study vocational degrees in subjects including education, health, engineering, business and agriculture.

The Soko Graduate Association (SGA) offers support to graduates as they enter the labour market, including access to internships, skill-building workshops and information on job opportunities through SGA's online job centre.
