NeSA brings hope to Nkhande learners
Tears of joy and disbelief filled the air at Nkhande Primary School in Chiradzulu District on Friday as officials from Needy Students Aid (NeSA) donated school uniforms, instruments, pens, and pencils to over 150 learners.
The donation was led by NeSA Vice President Gift Banda, Coordinator Robert Kayuzga Ngwira, and supported by NeSA President Pastor MacDonald Ziba.
“I am so grateful to NeSA for donating school items to me. This has come at the right time, considering that next week we are starting to write end-of-term exams where instruments, pencils, and pens will be needed, and our parents could not afford all these things,” said Japhet Chisola, one of the beneficiaries.
Chisola urged the NeSA team to continue their work of supporting underprivileged learners across the country.
Deputy Headmaster Rose Sakwata appealed to well-wishers in the country to emulate NeSA’s gesture.
“As Nkhande Primary School, we are very proud of the support we have received today because this support will encourage the spirit of hard work among learners at the school,” Sakwata said.
Chief Namvenya noted that the school uniforms donated to the learners will change the school’s outlook.
NeSA Coordinator Robert Kayuzga Ngwira encouraged the learners to repay the support by working hard in class.
“NeSA will be very happy to learn that these learners we are supporting today proceed to secondary school or even university and become meaningful citizens who will be able to assist others in the future,” Ngwira said. He emphasized that NeSA’s goal is to develop a culture of sharing and making a difference in society.
Needy Students Aid (NeSA) is a charitable organization established by Mr. MacDonald Ziba, a Malawian based in South Africa, to help reduce the school dropout rate in the country by providing learning materials, school fees, and other support to needy students.
