Malawi Stock Exchange-listed National Bank of Malawi (NBM) on Friday donated various food items worth K500, 000 to Pashello Charitable Trust at Ngabu in Chikwawa District.
\nPashello Charitable Trust runs an orphanage which looks after over 100 orphans and vulnerable children in Chikwawa and also offers support to needy students in secondary schools and colleges.
\nSome of the items donated include bags of maize flour, rice, cooking oil and sugar.
\nNBM\u2019s Social Media Executive, Eneless Mlongoti, said the donation confirmed NBM commitment towards helping vulnerable groups in the country, including children.
\n\u201cAt NBM, we believe that vulnerable groups, especially children, should be supported so that they realise their goals and be productive citizens of this country. I would like to thanks NBM management for making it possible for us to support Pashello Charitable Trust,\u201d Mlongoti said.
\nPashello Charitable Trust Executive Director, Felia Malola, thanked NBM for the donation, saying it had come at an opportune time.
\n\u201cWe registered this organisation in 2011 with only 20 orphans but now we look after over 100 children who include orphans and other vulnerable children
\n\u201cThis donation will help us a lot in giving the children good food so that when they go to their homes, they should have at least eaten three meals here at the centre,\u201d Malola said.
\nShe said the children attend nursery school at the orphanage before being fed and retire to their respective homes.
\n\u201cWe have managed to buy every child a school uniform because others were in rugs and we thought they should all look the same,\u201d Malola said.
\nShe said Pashello is constructing a structure which will, among other things, house a clinic, multi-purpose hall and dormitories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
