Scant harvests in Malawi are forcing Dayson Muyaya, left, to pay double the
"official" price for scarce corn.
Cover Story
Drought Deepens Poverty, Starving More Africans
CHIKWAWA, Malawi - It has barely rained for a
year, the scant corn harvest of six months ago is
long exhausted and the regional hospital here is
again filling with near-starving children - 18
admissions in August, 30 in September, 23 by
mid-October.
As a result, more than 4.6 million of Malawi's 12
million citizens need donated food to fend off
malnutrition until the next harvest begins in
April. In Zimbabwe, at least four million more
need emergency food aid. Zambia's government
has issued an urgent appeal for food, saying 1.7
million are hungry; 850,000 need food in
Mozambique, 500,000 in Lesotho and at least
300,000 in Swaziland.
As a result, more than 4.6 million of Malawi's 12
million citizens need donated food to fend off
malnutrition until the next. >> Read more

What we do
Our Focus
Our Focus Mission: To offer and create opportunities which allow communities to develop and become sustainable.
Success Stories
Program Areas
Campaigns
Our goals: as it relates to economic development, are to improve the general standard of living, reduce poverty,
create dignified employment opportunities, and reduce inequality. Be the Link International assists women in communities
by providing access to opportunities.

We connect: with non-profits, businesses and governmental departments allowing “services” to be attainable by
women. By having access to resources – this sets forth positive change in a woman’s life and her children. Our team, along
with community members, look at ways to create social businesses that benefit communities, while working with partici-
pants, training them to set up infrastructure and implementation. Giving women the opportunity to navigate and move
towards empowerment and self-sufficiency through development.

The end result: would be to train people within the community (over the duration of 5-7 years) on how to
successfully execute the actions listed above and allow them to take over executing the services that we have provided.
We would be available to offer consulting services if problems arose in the future. This action allows the community to
be truly self-sufficient and would allow us to move on to the next community that is in need of our services.

What is our microfinance program: Typically, we work through established organizations that serve
women. Our Janice program includes emotional support, microcredit loans, savings and business education services, train-
ing in technology and agriculture and the opportunity for participants to connect with their sponsors. Sponsors would
be allowed to correspond with participants by sending letters of encouragement through our office.

How does our microcredit program work: After an individual is sponsored in our program, we
provide classes and information sessions to help women understand the microcredit process. The monthly cost to spon-
sor a participant is $14 a month.

Follow Us: Research and assessment: Researching our methods and receiving feedback from program participants and
our partners will help with how we can effectively measure and assess efficiency and sustainability as it relates to our
programs. We are committed to reviewing policies and writing working papers on economic development.
