Meet Aubrey Chilimira Msowoya, a first-year Mental Health and Psychiatric Nursing student at Kamuzu University of Health Sciences (KUHeS), whose passion for leadership and inclusion extends beyond the classroom.

Aubrey is a volunteer Athlete Leader at Special Olympics Malawi, where he promotes the inclusion and participation of people with intellectual disabilities.

He recalls the welcoming and orientation session with our Head of Learning and Development, Emmanuel Wellman Banda, and the KUHeS Kwera Community at Kameza Campus as an important moment in his Kwera journey. The session connected him with fellow students and community leaders, while the insights he gained strengthened his communication skills and confidence, which he soon put into practice. Shortly afterwards, he was appointed a National Healthy Habits Messenger and given the opportunity to attend an international virtual meeting on Healthy Habits.

He is also recognised by fellow first-year students for using social media to share useful information and advocate for others, reflecting his growing commitment to leadership and service. At Kwera, we are proud to support young people like Aubrey as they build their skills, find their voice and create positive change in their communities.

There were moments when Handwell Jere was unsure if he would make it to graduation. While preparing for his MSCE examinations at Loyola Jesuit Secondary School, he lost his father. The loss deeply affected him, but with support from people around him, he found the strength to continue, eventually passing his MSCE and being selected to study Computer Systems and Security at the Malawi University Of Science and Technology.

University presented another challenge when he failed five modules at one point. Instead of giving up, he learned from the experience and continued working hard towards his goal.

In 2024, while in his second year, he joined Kwera. The tuition support eased the financial pressure and allowed him to focus on his studies. Beyond financial support, he also participated in Kwera’s extracurricular activities and lessons that helped him develop additional skills and knowledge that he believes will help him in the industry.

Today, Handwell has graduated with a Credit. His achievement carries the weight of every setback he overcame and every time he chose to continue when giving up seemed easier. At Kwera, we are proud to have supported Handwell on his journey.

Meet Chisomo Mame, a fourth-year Bachelor of Science in Actuarial Science (Honours) student at the University of Malawi - UNIMA whose journey as a Student Climber has helped her grow in confidence, leadership and service.

Chisomo served as Chairperson of the Kwera UNIMA Ladies Department from 2025 to 2026. She initially applied to join the executive team but was unexpectedly given the opportunity to lead. Although nervous at first, she stepped outside her comfort zone and, together with her team, organised initiatives such as a visit to Machinga, where they engaged and inspired girls in two secondary schools and an entrepreneurship session encouraging Kwera UNIMA ladies to explore business opportunities.

Beyond Kwera, Chisomo currently serves as Secretary of the Rotaract Club of Zomba, where she takes part in community initiatives including hospital visits. Through these experiences, she has strengthened her skills in communication and teamwork while becoming more confident in working with different people.

For Chisomo, leadership has become more than holding a position. Her experience as a Student Climber gave her first leadership opportunity and helped her understand leadership as a form of service. At Kwera, we are proud of Chisomo for embracing leadership and inspiring others.

Meet Yamikani Gama, a third-year Biological Sciences Student Climber at the University of Malawi - UNIMA.

Yamikani’s first year at university did not go exactly as he had planned. After missing a distinction by just one mark, he faced another challenge when his phone and laptop stopped working, and his guardian could not afford to replace either.

Rather than giving up, he relied on the kindness of friends who lent him their laptops, allowing him to continue studying at night and keep his dream alive. His determination paid off. The following semester, Yamikani scored above 80% in every course, including the very module that had once stood between him and his goal.

Today, he continues to excel academically while serving as the Secretary of the Kwera UNIMA Academics Department, where he works with his team to identify Student Climbers who need academic support, monitor their progress, and create initiatives to help fellow students stay on track.

At Kwera, we are proud to celebrate Yamikani for his academic excellence and commitment to helping others succeed.
