Malawi
Konexio
in Malawi
Malawi is home to Dzaleka refugee camp, Africa’s largest Francophone refugee camp, with over 50,000 residents. With limited income opportunities in the camp, 96% live below the poverty line.
Konexio launched its first Africa pilot in Dzaleka in 2019 to open the door to new employment opportunities online. Our Malawi projects have trained 180+ participants to date. Alumni have gone on to a range of digital employment, from starting their own online businesses to working in jobs that require digital skills, such as clerks or cashiers.
Konexio is currently operating in Dzaleka, in partnership with the Jesuit Refugee Service. We have received employer support from Upwork, Remote, and FlexJobs.
