Held at Chikwawa Secondary School, the camp brought together 99 youths from various schools, comprising 50 boys and 49 girls, who underwent training on critical topics, including sexual reproductive health, mental health, and life skills.
MRCS President Innocent Majiya said the camp is significant in fostering a vibrant and productive youth and noted that the initiative aligns with Enabler 5 of the Malawi 2063 agenda, which focuses on investing in human capital.
