The Old Mutual (Blantyre) Foundation Trust has made notable progress in its efforts to contribute to the quality of education standards in Malawi.
According to the Foundation’s Chairperson, Tawonga Manda, the organization has been working tirelessly to improve the learning environment for students across the country.
Manda made the remarks ahead of a significant event in Rumphi, where the Foundation will hand over a third school block at Katete Primary School.
The facility is part of the Foundation’s School Infrastructure Improvement Program, which aims to construct fully furnished school blocks, headteacher’s offices, and staff rooms in all regions of the country.
The program is being implemented in collaboration with CARE Malawi, and the Foundation has invested over 200 million kwacha in the initiative.
