"We are seeking collaboration with foundations, the government, Civil Society Organizations, companies, individuals, political leaders, local chiefs, people in the entertainment sector, secondary schools, universities, offices, and other sectors to ensure that generosity permeates society," stated Sineta.

The meeting will introduce network members to the GivingTuesday movement, outlining their roles and emphasizing the significance of each organization and media agency involved.

Representatives from GivingTuesday Global and Africa Hub will be present to welcome the Malawi team and offer guidance on implementing the GivingTuesday Malawi generosity agenda.

The establishment of the network holds great importance for Malawi, as it aims to foster generosity within grassroots communities.

By involving diverse stakeholders, the movement's feasibility is enhanced.

Members of the Malawi GivingTuesday movement span across the entire country, enabling widespread impact.

The initial layer of partners and network members will be followed by additional layers of partners, including companies, individuals, entrepreneurs, influential local leaders, and educational institutions ranging from primary and secondary schools to colleges and universities.
