The National Bank of Malawi (NBM) plc has given K12 million to the Tertiary Students Sports Association of Malawi (TESSAM) to support the national sports festival in Lilongwe this weekend.
The cheque handover was conducted on Wednesday at the bank’s head office in Blantyre, marking another milestone in NBM plc’s ongoing commitment to youth and tertiary education development.
The much-anticipated TESSAM Sports Festival will bring together students from over 15 universities, both public and private, and will be hosted across three major venues: African Bible College (ABC), Bambino School, and the Bingu National Stadium.
Speaking after presenting the cheque, NBM plc’s Marketing and Corporate Affairs Manager, Akossa Hiwa, emphasised the Bank’s deep-rooted dedication to empowering the country’s youth.
“NBM plc believes in youth development, and it also believes in the development of tertiary institutions. This is part of a comprehensive strategy that we have towards youth engagement—ensuring we support them in all spheres during their studies,” said Hiwa.
Hiwa highlighted that this is not the first time the bank has supported TESSAM, having also contributed in 2024.
“In addition to this K12 million donation, we have other ongoing initiatives by the Bank aimed at supporting youth, including a university-based college basketball program that has significantly contributed to the development of basketball in Malawi. Furthermore, the Bank continues to run its ‘More Excellence Program,’ which includes scholarships, mentorships, the provision of academic equipment, and performance-based student awards.”
“This is all part of our integral plan to target and engage with our youth stakeholders, who are part of the ‘Bank of the Nation’. They graduate and grow with us, and go on to work with us in different spheres of development and the economy,” added Hiwa.
TESSAM Treasurer Tadala Namaona expressed immense gratitude on behalf of the association, describing the donation as both generous and unexpected.
“We have received this with much joy because we did not expect it. I know the National Bank does a lot for the country, but this was a surprise. They supported us last year, but this year’s support has more than doubled. We are very happy with this sponsorship.”
“With the coming in of the National Bank, we know it is going to be an even greater event than what we had last year. It means more resources, better organisation, and more exposure for our athletes,” said Namaona.

The Malawi Government has embarked on an ambitious project to improve the living conditions of its security personnel.
In a bid to enhance the welfare of officers, the government is constructing 64 modern houses for officers in the Central East Region Police in Kasungu.
This initiative is part of a broader effort to provide decent and sustainable housing for members of the Malawi Police Service, Malawi Defence Force (MDF), the Department of Immigration and Citizenship Services, and the Malawi Prison Services.
The project has made significant progress, with several units already completed and others at advanced stages.
The construction of these modern houses is not only addressing the long-standing issue of inadequate accommodation for security officers but also delivering economic benefits to the local community.
Over 400 temporary jobs have been created for residents, providing valuable income and skill development opportunities.
For many years, security officers have struggled with overcrowded and substandard housing, often accommodating large families in limited spaces.
This development marks a significant turning point in the government’s efforts to prioritize the welfare of its security personnel.
The provision of modern housing will improve the quality of life for officers and their families, as well as bolster operational efficiency.
The project’s benefits extend beyond the security personnel to the local community. The creation of temporary jobs has provided valuable income opportunities for residents, contributing to the local economy.
This initiative demonstrates the government’s commitment to enhancing the welfare of its civil servants and its dedication to providing decent and sustainable housing for its officers.
The completion of this project is expected to have a lasting impact on the lives of security personnel and the local community.
The modern houses will not only improve the quality of life for officers and their families but also contribute to the overall effectiveness of the security sector.
With reduced travel distances, officers will be able to respond quickly to emergencies, ultimately strengthening law enforcement, national safety, and public service delivery.
The government’s investment in the welfare of its security personnel is a commendable effort. The success of this project will depend on the government’s continued commitment to its completion and the welfare of its security personnel.
As the project nears completion, it is expected to serve as a model for future initiatives aimed at improving the welfare of civil servants.
The Malawi Government’s initiative to provide modern housing for security personnel is a significant step towards enhancing their living conditions.
The project’s success will have a positive impact on the morale and productivity of security personnel, ultimately contributing to the country’s overall security and stability.
