Bakhresa Milling Company over the weekend donated development projects worth K6.5 million to communities around Traditional Authority Nkalo in Chiradzulu south constituency.<\/p>\n
The company handed over a four classroom school block to Mapesi Primary School valued at K2.5 million and also handed over to the community two boreholes drilled at a cost of K4 million.<\/p>\n
Bakhresa Plant Maintenance Manager, Bangi Swamy, said the devastating heavy rains that occurred in January this year affected a lot of communities, and as a company they thought of giving back to their customers.<\/p>\n
He said Bakhresa values the need for good quality education and safe drinking water.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are our customers and they support us through buying of our products. It is therefore important that we help alleviate some of the problems the communities face,\u201d said Swamy.<\/p>\n
The school block faced serious damage as walls collapsed and the roof was blown off.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis affected studies at the school and we had to do something about it,\u201d said Swamy.<\/p>\n
Receiving the donation on behalf of the community was parliamentarian of the area, Joseph Mwanamvekha, who said education is a key to a successful nation.<\/p>\n
He said it is important that pupils in rural areas are motivated to get educated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
