MALAWI: MyBucks Banking Corporation has intensified a charity drive in the country, as one way of cheering the needy, particularly orphans in the festive season.

Recently, the bank visited a holistic charitable organization in Zomba, Thundu known as Everlasting Life Ministries where it donated various items such as; clothes, blankets, groceries, and food staff among other things all worth over K2 million to the orphans.

In an interview after donating Zomba on Tuesday, MyBucks Head of Retail and Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) Banking, Mayamiko Kalizang’oma said that they believe in giving back to the community, hence the charity drive.

“As part of our strategic intent and purpose of being the best digital bank with social impact, we believe in giving back to the community by embracing corporate social responsibility of supporting the needy,” said Kalizang’oma.

He added that during this year’s festive season they are looking forward to reaching out to all three regions of the country with the charity initiative.

“MyBucks is pleased to announce that it has taken Christmas to 180 orphans based in all three regions of the country, as part of this charity drive we have been in Zomba, Mzuzu and we will be also in Kasungu and Mzimba to also cheer up other kids,” he said.

In his remarks, Founder of Everlasting Life Ministries in Zomba, Apostle James Chikopa hailed MyBucks Banking Corporation for its timely donation to his institution.

“As an institution, we were stranded as we had nothing for our children to celebrate this year’s Christmas and we had nowhere to go to get the help, therefore we appreciate the donation which we have received from MyBucks.

“The donation has come at a very right time and we can confidently say that our children will celebrate the 2021 Christmas,” Chikopa said.
