The Islamic Information Bureau (IIB) Youth Desk Muslim Girls’ Camp 2026 continued today at Namaa Relief & Development in Lilongwe, with Hon. Khadija Chunga, Member of Parliament, engaging young Muslim women on the importance of leadership, confidence, vision and purpose.

Speaking under the session titled “Embracing Leadership: Cultivating Confidence, Vision and Purpose,” Hon. Chunga encouraged the girls, aged 14 to 25, to believe in themselves, develop a clear vision for their future and recognise their potential to make a positive difference in their communities.

She further emphasised the importance of confidence and purposeful leadership, encouraging the participants to embrace opportunities and prepare themselves for future leadership roles.

The session was part of the camp’s broader objective of empowering young Muslim women with knowledge, skills and values that will enable them to become confident and responsible leaders.

The four-day camp, organised by the IIB Youth Desk, is being held under the theme “Rooted in Faith, Shaped by Character” and brings together young Muslim women for sessions covering faith, leadership, education, health, human rights, entrepreneurship, resilience and personal development.

NANGAPOCHE VILLAGE CELEBRATES FORM 4 GRADUATION AS 44 STUDENTS COMPLETE SECONDARY EDUCATION

“LETTER TO ONESELF” COMPETITION INTRODUCED AT GRADUATION

We had to travel for almost 180 kilometres from Blantyre to the remote area of Mangochi to attend a memorable Form 4 graduation ceremony held at Nangapoche CDSS. The event marked the completion of secondary education for 44 students and attracted a strong turnout of community members, including Senior Chief Somba, Group Village Headmen, the area’s PEA, parents, and teachers.

A key reflection from the school’s journey showed that when it opened in 2022, 30 girls enrolled in Form 1, and only 14 of them successfully completed the full secondary cycle to graduation this year, highlighting both the challenges and resilience within rural education.

During the ceremony, representatives from Mai Aisha Trust introduced a “Letter to Oneself” competition, where students were encouraged to write reflective messages to their future selves to inspire discipline, vision, and goal-setting.

The graduates were also reminded that they will be sitting for their MSCE examinations from 24 June to 29 July, a crucial academic period that will shape their future education and career paths.

The event highlighted the importance of education, community support, and continued investment in young people as future leaders.
