Africa-Press – Malawi. The Saulos Klaus Chilima (SKC) Foundation fundraising golf tournament is raising hope for improved access to life-saving kidney care, after the Foundation collected over K160 million ahead of the 28 March, 2026 event in Lilongwe.
This was revealed when National Bank of Malawi (NBM) plc added to this momentum with a K20 million contribution, reinforcing efforts to purchase dialysis machines and patient monitors for strategic hospitals as guided by the Ministry of Health.
Speaking during the cheque handover, Lilongwe Service Centre Manager, Maureen Gwembere, said the bank’s support reflects a commitment to improving healthcare access for Malawians.
“The sole purpose of this initiative is to procure medical equipment for communities, which aligns with the Bank’s commitment to supporting the well-being of Malawians,” Gwembere said, adding that the tournament will also honour the legacy of the late Vice President Saulos Klaus Chilima.
SKC Foundation Trustee and son of the late Vice President, Sean Chilima, expressed gratitude, highlighting the impact of the growing support.
“The impact of this donation is substantial. What we aim to achieve requires considerable resources, and we appreciate the support from NBM plc. Health facilities are overwhelmed by the number of patients battling kidney failure, and our goal is to make these machines accessible closer to where people live,” said Chilima.
The SKC Foundation, established in memory of the late Vice President, continues to attract support from institutions and individuals alike, bringing communities together to tackle critical healthcare challenges.
