Triephornia Mpinganjira changes ‘Kuthandiza Omwe Alibe Kuthekera Kupita Patsogolo’ project winners unveiling process

By Chisomo Phiri

Businesswoman and philanthropist Dr. Triephornia Mpinganjira has announced a change in the unveiling process for the winners of her ‘Kuthandiza Omwe Alibe Kuthekera Kupita Patsogolo’ project.

Previously, the project unveiled winners every fortnight, but now the application window will be open for a month, starting from July 9, 2024, and 14 winners will be announced on August 28, 2024, with each receiving K1million.

Writing on her Facebook page,Mpinganjira says, the changes are aimed at  reducing logistical challenges and simplify the process.

“Unveiling winners every fortnight had become cumbersome. This resulted in thousands of excellent applications, which we could barely accommodate because we could only consider one winner out of all of them.”

“Furthermore, we have several programs in the offing, and having this one run until December would make it difficult for us to launch new programs.

“Because of these and several other logistical factors, we have decided to change the unveiling process,”says Mpinganjira.

She launched the project in April this year targeting eighteen young entrepreneurs.

So far, four winners have already benefited from the project.
