Drum roll for the final episode please 😅😅😅😅🥁🥁🥁
Today on our Gratitude Series, we celebrate the one and only Founder and Managing Director of Feva’s Chilli… Favour Mlowoka 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ahh, inu ndalimbikira munthune please 😅
It has taken a lot to get this far 🙌🏼 I have stretched myself in many ways and stepped out of my comfort zone countless times. Some of the things I’ve done for this business did not come naturally they came through intentionality and growth.
I started this business in 2018, but officially registered it in 2022. That was the moment I decided to take things seriously and start putting everything in order. I remember coming back from the registrar's office feeling like a pro 😂🔥 I didn’t do it alone; shout out to Berna Tumpale Mwabungulu , my sister Khumbiro Mkali and her husband Mike Mkali . Your guidance meant everything. These 3 had prior experience in business registration.
That same year, I traveled from Lilongwe to Zomba for a free 2-day MBS training. I felt like I was truly winning and making progress💪 I was so proud of myself 😅
In 2023, progress was slow as my focus was divided, but I still showed up. Towards the end of the year, I went to the MBS offices in Lilongwe to better understand the certification process and I left encouraged to keep going (I was well guided)
In 2024, we started small, about 50 bottles per month. Then in May, everything shifted when Max & Sherry Dine and Lounge shared Feva’s Chilli on their page. The exposure brought new customers, and production grew to 200 bottles per month 🔥
That same year, I invested in myself by joining The Graça Machel Trust Women Creating Wealth Programme which pushed me to organize and strengthen the business even more.
2024 also came with major milestones; I secured a company address from the Post Office and began working on the Feva’s Chilli factory, which was completed in early 2025.
In 2025, we officially started operating from the factory and continued aligning with MBS standards. It has taken hard work, persistence, and determination to get here.
What have I learned?
✓Rome was not built in a day.
✓It’s one step at a time.
✓One milestone at a time.
✓Trying to do everything at once can be overwhelming but progress, no matter how small, adds up.
