Old Mutual says provision of adequate resources to learners in schools has the potential to improve their performance in class.
Marketing and Corporate Affairs Executive for Old Mutual, Patience Chatsika, said this at Mzimba LEA School when the firm donated learning materials to the school.
“As we celebrate 70 years of our existence doing business in the country and investing in our future, we believe that investing in education is very important as it is the key to the socio- economic and industrial growth of any nation,” Chatsika said.
Chief Education Officer in the Ministry of Education, Laurent Afonso, hailed Old Mutual for their support.
Head-teacher for Mzimba LEA School, Joseph Chirwa, said the donation is a morale booster to learners at the school.
Old Mutual has set aside MK 15.5 million towards the company’s corporate social responsibility programmes lined up during what it calls the Care Week.
