The National Bank of Malawi is handing out donations across the country for the holidays. Their annual program has given away food and supplies worth one hundred twenty million kwacha so far. The total festive package is two hundred fifty million kwacha, running from early to late December. Each of twelve participating bank branches contributes twenty million daily, with a final thirty million donation at the end.
Recipients include various health and education institutions. St Martin's Health Centre in Mwanza got medical gear for maternal care. Wells of Joy Orphan Care in Blantyre received food and sewing machines. Schools in Blantyre, Kasungu, and Machinga were given desks, textbooks, and sports equipment. Makande Primary School in Ngabu, which teaches visually impaired students, received Perkins braillers and food items.
The bank's marketing manager, Akossa Hiwa, said the effort reflects their commitment to supporting communities. A student representative from Liwonde Secondary School noted the donation restored dignity, as learners previously had to sit on the floor. The head teacher at Makande Primary explained the new braillers will help greatly, as they only had two working machines for two dozen students. The initiative remains a key part of the bank's corporate social responsibility work.
