UGI Chief Finance Officer Gloria Chikuse said the gesture is part of celebrating men\u2019s struggle for their socio-economic accomplishments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the objectives of International Men\u2019s Day is to focus on men\u2019s health and wellbeing. That is the social, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. Men carry a lot of responsibilities and in their quest of life, most of them struggle silently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn their struggle they suffer silently because the community believes men don\u2019t cry. As UGI we are celebrating men by sending a message of hope, love and thanks to all men including our clients that men can talk if they are struggling. Men need help!\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>One of the customers who got a gift, Dan Ngwira, who is also Communications Director for The Institute of Marketing in Malawi (IMM) commended UGI for remembering men.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt feels great, moments where men are celebrated are quite rare in a calendar year. This is a very good opportunity for UGI to excite their customers and give them a good experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a good reason for me to insure my car with UGI because I have been celebrated. Everyone needs emotional support regardless of gender.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have moments where women, children celebrate and this initiative of celebrating men is good,\u201d said Ngwira. Early this year, UGI also gave out gifts to women on Valentines and Mothers days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
