Phalombe District Youth Office has expressed satisfaction with the work Youth Net and Counseling (YONECO) is doing in empowering the youth in the country.

Phalombe District Youth Officer Ian Sukali expressed his satisfaction during a learning visit by Kaduya Youth Network of Phalombe at YONECO offices in Zomba on Saturday.

Sukali said the youth network thought of organizing the visit in order to appreciate various projects and programmes which YONECO is implementing especially targeting young people in rural areas.

“We organized this visit in order to also interact with YFM producers and reporters because we know for sure that there are various programmes targeting young people on YONECO FM,” he said.

YONECO executive director MacBain Mkandawire said the visit has shown how the organization is impacting the lives of youth.

“The mere fact that young people can decide that we just want to go to see where YONECO is and especially that it’s a network of youth organizations in Phalombe it just shows the impact that YONECO is having,” Mkandawire said.

He said the visit will help to promote several interventions that the organization is implementing in various districts.
