COMPUTER FOR YOUTH
The day of many youth in Chikwawa is characterized by more idle time; very few youth in Chikwawa have the chance to attend tertiary education as most of the parents cannot afford paying for such school fees. Many of the youth have idle time with very few supporting their parents in Agriculture activities, because of this idle time many of the youth are indulged in bad behaviors such as alcohol and drug abuse, for girls because of poverty some are indulged in multiple sex which make them vulnerable to HIV/AIDS. In the villages around Chikwawa early marriage is also a problem. There is no any recreation hall in Chikwawa which can make the youth busy with other activities, though the Government of Malawi is preaching about Community College; Chikwawa Boma has no any institution of such kind where the youth can have a chance to learn some skills. The opening of the computer for youth would also support the youth to open up and have more productive days.
