Creating endless possibilities for everyone to thrive.

Emerge Livelihoods was established with an aim of amplifying a youth-centric community at the center of private enterprise driving socio-economic development in Malawi.

We champion a thriving ecosystem

The core business at Emerge Livelihoods is set within the broader vision to champion a thriving ecosystem that amplifies the self-reliance of individuals and communities across Malawi and beyond. We contribute to:

  • The Malawi 2063 agenda, aiming to transform Malawi into a wealthy and self-reliant industrialized “upper-middle-income country” by the year 2063, and
  • The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), seeking to end poverty and hunger, gender equality, environmental protection, and natural resources conservation.
