Mr. Mike Mhindimba (39) lives with his wife and three kids on Likoma Island, Malawi. He got his training experience as a welder 5 yrs ago while in neighboring Mozambique. He then came back home to establish his own welding shop. It was hard and he had to work at a friend's welding shop to raise his own capital. After saving up, he started his own shop and become a member of the Timbiri Savings and Credit Cooperative (TCS), an initiative supported by Empower Projects. He first heard about TCS when he was hired to do some welding work for their new office on the island. Since then, saving has helped him to build a bigger house. He is now saving to expand his business and is benefitting from business training provided by TCS.
