Extreme poverty has been a challenge among the people. Now out of eight billion of human population that are on the earth, more than one billion live in harsh life of extreme poverty, that is below defined poverty line by World Bank, a dollar per day. Therefore, Non-governmental Organization (NGOs) use more money for projects and policies intended to improve these people’s lives. The majority of the people in Malawi are taking extreme poverty as their day-to-day song even though projects and programs implemented. The study assesses and examined the effectiveness of Community organizing in poverty reduction. The study used quantitative and qualitative method. The study conducted in 12 T/As selected in Thyolo district. The study involved 301 participants, through 25 community members from each T/A mentioned above in Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) in a separate location. And 19 Key informant interviews were done with decision makers of community issues and development. The cluster members were purposively and Systematic randomly sampled. The study’s outcomes reveal that there is sufficient understanding about clusters/VSLs and its operation in Malawi. People’s mind set have been changed since the establishment of VSLs/clusters. The cluster’s potential is that if clusters are managed well more people will profits and bring change in the living standards of communities. It is evident that VSL/clusters in Thyolo are not yet effective in poverty reduction. But there is relief to the VSL members as problems for the cluster members looked to be less compared to way back before joined VSL. This is because the problems for the cluster members looked to be lesser compared to non-cluster members. The study learned that the service provided by clusters didn’t meet VSL member’s expectations. Cluster members are facing many challenges due to the vulnerability context. The sustainable poverty elimination in VSLs can be successful if the NGOs and government focuses to the needs of people, be familiar with their culture and livelihoods plus available natural resource in their area. The study recommends that governments and developmental agencies should revisit livelihood strategies to deal with vulnerability context that has been accelerating poverty. Secondly, clusters can be empowered through industrializing depending on the resources available on the area as job creation. Thirdly, promote exports production through low government fees and awards. Lastly, people should be empowered to have assets that cannot be affected by vulnerability context
