Lilongwe, March 20, Mana: A Malawian woman based in the United States of America (USA), Chawezi Banda popularly known as Chacha, has extended a helping hand to elderly women in Chitawira, Blantyre by supplying them with essential goods to improve their daily lives.
The women are under an organization known as Women in Partnership Against HIV and AIDS in Malawi (WIPAM) under the guidance of Pastor Roselyn Lois Mankhwala.
Some of the items donated include 10 kilogrammes of flour, cooking oil, sugar, salt and soya pieces.
In a telephone interview from the USA, Banda said this was part of celebrating her 50th birthday.
Banda said she thought of celebrating her birthday with the elderly since most of them lack support.
"My mission goes beyond this donation. I support many people in need, including covering school fees for some girls. This contribution is a part of my commitment,” she said.
Banda recently donated various food items to Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre and Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe.
In her remarks, WIPAM Execute Director Pastor Mankhwala hailed Banda for the support and urged her to continue supporting the needy.
