Kanyenyeva Wala means Kanyenyeva Shines in Chichewa. This Days for Girls Enterprise provides the women of Kanyenyeva with a viable sustainable small business to supply their own needs and provide an income for themselves while helping female students remain in school. DfG enterprises sew reusable sanitary products and string bags for privacy and storage. The enterprise distributes health education and sanitary kits to menstruating women and girls.
Days for Girls sanitary kits are truly life-changing for the school aged girls who receive them. “Days for Girls” literally refers to “School Days for Girls”. In many areas in Malawi, girls who menstruate without access to sanitary supplies are forced to skip school. They subsequently fall behind in their studies and are often forced to drop out of school and then into a forced early marriage.
The Days for Girls program was first introduced to the women of Kanyenyeva in January 2016 by members of a Malawi Orphan Care Project mission trip to the area. The program was immediately embraced as both the teenage girls and the village women recognized the ability for this product to allow girls and women to continue their daily routines – every day of the month. Each kit provides washable, reusable sanitary items. Monthly menstrual periods are no longer a reason for these women to stay isolated at home due to a lack of available sanitary products.
In October 2018, Days for Girls International approved the licensing of a Days for Girls Enterprise to be located within Kanyenyeva, Malawi. Since that time, this enterprise has been operated as a program under the umbrella of the Malawi Orphan Care Project and Kanyenyeva Ministries. 
Six women were chosen to attend the Days for Girls Leadership Launchpad that was held in Salima, Malawi in 2019. These women spent two weeks learning to sew the DFG kit components as well as learning how to market and distribute DfG kits within their surrounding region.
Kanyenyeva Wala has grown into one of the outstanding DfG enterprises in Africa and is housed within the Skills Center building that was constructed using funds that were raised through the cooperative efforts of MOCP contributors. The enterprise has established a working relationship with DfG South Africa and also received past grant funding through a foundation of the First Lady of Malawi. Recently, an industrial overlocking serger sewing machine was purchased and is being put to use making professional style kit components.
Donations to Kanyenyeva Wala are used to purchase kit components that are not readily available in the local area. Donations also help maintain the enterprise’s sewing machines and other enterprise equipment. Flannel, underwear, and plastic snaps are purchased from outside the area through DFG South Africa. Donations allow Kanyenyeva Wala to continue to provide DfG kits along with health education throughout Malawi.
