Non-state actors have been urged to collaborate with the government in implementing development initiatives to help achieve the goals of the Malawi 2063.
Founder of Kwithu Women’s Group, Anna Keys, made the call during the organization’s 20th-anniversary celebration, which highlighted their efforts in feeding, educating and empowering women and vulnerable children.
Keys emphasized her vision of raising a generation that is financially stable, innovative, and capable of contributing positively to national development.
Mzuzu City Mayor, Brian Nyasulu, also encouraged private institutions to collaborate with the city council in executing developmental projects, emphasizing that such partnerships are key to driving progress.
One of Kwithu Women’s Group’s beneficiaries, Lusubiro Phiri, who now teaches at Mzuzu International Academy, acknowledged the organization’s scholarship support, to complete her education.
Bishop John Lyan of Mzuzu Diocese commended Kwithu Women’s Group for initiating programmes that are changing lives of the community. He called on other stakeholders to take a more active role in national development.
Founded in 2004, Kwithu Women’s Group began with the goal of supporting 20 children to achieve economic independence and has since grown into a transformative force in the community.
