🌾 Celebrating Market Day at the mbora Hub in Ulande! 🎉 Yesterday, our dedicated mbora outgrower farmers gathered at the Ulande Hub, bringing their chili and hibiscus crops for sale to us. Market day is a celebration of hard work, community, and progress. Our farmers, who have adopted climate-smart, organic regenerative farming techniques, are significantly increasing their earnings and improving their livelihoods. Thank you to two of our offtake partners, Tropha Estates Limited and Satemwa Tea & Coffee Estate, for their continued support. #smallholders #Agriculture #Sustainability #MarketDay #Community #Farming #ClimateSmartFarming #mbora

Steven and Amina, a young Malawian couple, recently arrived at the mbora hub in Ulande for Hibiscus Market Day. By 8am, their hibiscus was weighed and graded by an expert from Satemwa Tea & Coffee Estate, passing with flying colors. They received a fair price, validating their hard work and dedication. Their hibiscus would soon become high-end aromatic tea, adding pride to their achievement. Empowered by this success, Steven and Amina left mbora for home, dreaming bigger and envisioning a brighter future. mbora doesn't just provide a market; it empowers farmers through education, financial inclusion, and community support. For Steven and Amina, this day marked the start of a journey filled with hope and opportunity. #mbora #Malawi #smallholders #alternativelivelihoods #financialinclusion #empoweringfarmers #AgriFinTech #agribusiness #changinglives #villageprosperity

In Malawi, only 17% of women have a bank account, and residents often travel over 20 kilometers to reach the nearest bank branch or ATM. 📊 mbora addresses these challenges by providing digital access to essential financial services directly to rural communities via our network of mbora Hubs. We make banking accessible and affordable, empowering people to manage their finances locally.📱 By enhancing financial inclusion, mbora is fostering economic development and transforming lives in Malawi’s underserved rural areas. 🌱 #mbora #financialinclusion #changinglives

🌍 **Empowering Healthier Futures: Family Planning and SRH at mbora** In Malawi 29% of pregnancies occur among teenagers—rising to 35% during COVID-19. In our rural communities, girls become mothers at just 15 years old on average. Adolescent girls often marry before the age of 18, with those lacking education marrying even earlier. mbora is striving to help bridge these gaps, providing accessible healthcare via outreach clinics in mbora Hubs and empowering communities to make informed choices for a healthier future. Our Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) Program focuses on empowering women and girls who seek to delay or limit childbearing. 🌟 #FamilyPlanning #SRH #HealthcareAccess

📍 Mapping Our Impact in Rural Malawi 🌍 By deploying the latest mapping techniques, mbora is able to visualise our geographical footprint. This map showcases the coverage of our members from our 4 hub network in Mangochi District. With our advanced mapping capabilities, we can: - Track the location of loans; - Inspect the land of our outgrowers; - Plan for future innovations like drone deliveries of pharmaceuticals. In rural Malawi, being locationally intelligent is crucial. Many communities lack formal addresses, making it difficult to access services. mbora has been able to give people an address, transforming how we connect and support our members. #mbora #LocationalIntelligence #Mapping #RuralInnovation #Malawi #TechForGood

🌍💧 Celebrating World Food Safety Day! 🙌We’re proud to highlight our ongoing partnership with Hydrachem Ltd, a world-leading manufacturer of effervescent chlorine (NaDCC) tablets. Through this collaboration, we’re supplying these vital tablets from our Hubs to vulnerable communities where clean and potable water isn’t a norm. 💊Waterborne diseases are among the most common illnesses treated in our mbora medical clinics. Ensuring water safety and quality is fundamental to human development and well-being. Providing access to safe water is one of the most effective ways to improve health and safety in our communities. 🌽Our collaboration with Hydrachem plays a crucial role in ensuring not only water safety but also safe food. Clean water is essential for food production, processing, and preparation, and by addressing water contamination, we’re contributing to overall food safety in our communities. 💧This World Food Safety Day, let’s remember that clean water is crucial not only for drinking but for all aspects of life. Together, we are building a healthier, safer future for everyone. 🌿 #WorldFoodSafetyDay #CleanWater #HealthyCommunities #mbora #Hydrachem #SafeWater #CommunityHealth #WaterIsLife

Meet some of the cheerful kids from a vibrant fishing village in Malawi 🇲🇼. These kids light up our days with their infectious smiles. However, behind the scenes, their families are facing challenges. Fishermen here have been using mosquito nets to fish in the lake—a method that’s unsustainable and harms the ecosystem. But there’s hope! We’re working together to provide alternative livelihoods to these hardworking fishermen, ensuring a sustainable future for these communities and the environment. Let’s support these changes and keep the smiles shining bright! #Alternativelivelihoods #SustainableFishing #Malawi #mbora
