Lilongwe, September 20, Mana: Partners For the North (PFN), a newly registered company, has vowed to support government in creating green collar jobs for the youth who have graduated from the country’s colleges and universities.

The company’s manager at Ekwendeni Operations Office, Masida Jere, told Malawi News Agency (MANA) in an interview on Thursday that the jobs will allow the youth to work at their comfort.

He said the initiative is meant to complement government efforts in creating jobs for the youths whom, many of them, are stressed and depressed due to idleness.

“As PFN, we are here to create jobs that the youths can do in the comfort of their homes and earn money to survive the current global economic challenges,” Jere said.

PFN has investment interests in mega farms, transportation, logistics, printing, stationery, bookshops, merchandise, publishing and supporting development projects in the Northern region.

The company has a current network of 50 youth who are engaged in sales, marketing, logistics, designing and business consultancy in Zomba, Blantyre, Lilongwe and Mzuzu.

One of the Lilongwe based youth, Caroline Phiri, hailed PFN for its commitment to creating green collar jobs for the youth in the country.

“A lot of youth who have graduated from colleges and universities are struggling to get employed hence PFN mission would assist to address unemployment among youths,” she said.
