The National Development Party (NDP) just donated K2 million to help 35 students in need at the University of Livingstonia. The money will allow them to continue attending school and earning their degrees. Chikondi Lisimba, the NDP's second-in-command, handed over the cash during a special cultural day fundraiser at the university.
She said the donation fits right in with the NDP's plan to make education and job training better in Malawi. Lisimba also asked other organizations to step up and support students who are struggling at different universities around the country. "Helping young people get through college is like educating the whole nation. They're gonna contribute to the economy in all kinds of ways," she said.
Dr. Wezzie Chiziba, the university's deputy principal, thanked Dr. Lisimba for coming to the fundraiser. He mentioned that Livingstonia University wants to raise K70 million at the cultural day event. That money will help students in need pay for food and tuition.
Charles M'bama, the secretary general of the NDP's youth wing, said students who don't have a lot of money face many challenges. That's why they put together the fundraiser cultural day in the first place.
