Community Initiative for Social Empowerment (CISE) is an Indigenous Non-Governmental

Organization (NGO) registered under the Trustees Incorporation Act (CAP. 5:03) of the

Laws of Malawi. CISE is also registered with Council for Non-Governmental Organization of

Malawi (CONGOMA) and NGO Board of Malawi. CISE currently implement its

programmes in Mchinji district of Central Region of Malawi. The rationale for setting up

CISE is due to a felt need to encourage everyone to utilize human potential that would

translate into development of Malawi as a nation. The youth constitute suggests that the

majority of the population is unemployed worldwide. The challenge within Malawi is much

attributed to low entrepreneurship skills, high school dropout rates, early pregnancies and

marriages and HIV/AIDS.
