Bishop William Mchombo started a new Savings Ministry for the Anglican Diocese of Upper Shire. This K80 million project comes from the Five Talents UK group. The plan runs three years across 19 parishes in the diocese.
The bishop spoke at the Chilema center in Zomba about helping people save money for better lives. He wants the program to lift struggling families through small business skills. Many locals see cash but lack good ways to manage it properly.
The church aims to teach money skills through local savings groups, said Mchombo. He expects better schools, health care, and local buildings as a result. People often borrow cash at high rates because they save poorly, pushing them deeper into poverty. The church believes it must support both faith needs and daily life needs.
Winnie Sadyalunda from St. Veronica at Mponda's Parish liked the new program. She thinks it helps church members stand on their fee,t money-wise. This makes them ready to help church growth efforts.
