In a remarkable show of commitment to education, Moyo Ngwathu, a local non-governmental organisation, has breathed new life into Mpingu Community Day Secondary School in Lilongwe by renovating and restocking its library — a K25 million investment aimed at transforming learning conditions for students. According to Moyo Ngwathu Chief Executive Officer, Ringo Kanshulu, the initiative followed an appeal from the school’s management, who cited a dire shortage of learning materials and a dilapidated library structure as major obstacles to student performance. In response, Moyo Ngwathu partnered with Zikomo Foundation of Germany, securing vital resources for textbooks, furniture, and renovations.With this support, we expect to see a rise in student performance as learners now have access to adequate materials and a conducive study environment. Our ultimate goal is to see students from Mpingu CDSS advancing to public universities,” said Kanshulu.
Speaking during the official handover, Central West Education Division Manager, Joseph Nkhata, hailed the intervention, emphasizing that access to quality learning resources remains a pressing challenge in many schools. “A library is the heart of any school — the backbone of education. This support will go a long way in nurturing Malawi’s human capital, which is essential for national development,” he remarked. Through partnerships like these, Moyo Ngwathu continues to prove that empowering minds is the most powerful investment in the future.
