Phillipina Phiri Msiska, a resident of Mzuzu and currently studying in the United States of America (USA),on Saturday made a generous donation of zitenje (Mother’s Day cloth) to 104 women from Mphonde village, Traditional Authority (T/A) Dzoole, and Mwinama village, Traditional Authority (T/A) Mponela in Dowa district.

In an interview with our journalist Chisomo Phiri, Msiska, who works with Mzuzu ADD and is a married mother of two, spent K500,000 on the donation.

When asked about her motivation, Msiska cited her natural empathy for those in need and her desire to share with her fellow women during this Mother’s Day celebration period.

She also emphasized the importance of social responsibility and contributing to society, especially by helping those in need.

“I wanted to make a difference in the lives of these women, who may not have received a Mother’s Day gift due to various reasons.

“I believe that helping others is a fundamental part of being a good citizen and community member” she said.

Msiska also expressed her gratitude to God for making the donation possible and encouraged others with the potential to help others to do so.

She emphasized that her donation was made out of goodwill and not for any political aspirations, as she is currently residing in the USA and has no plans to return to Malawi anytime soon.

One of the beneficiaries, Ephridah Mankhwazi, expressed gratitude towards Msiska for her generous gesture.
