Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>Ecobank Malawi, a leading pan-African bank, has announced its sponsorship of K10 million for the Presidential Charity Golf tournament, which will take place on October 7 at Lilongwe Golf Club.<\/p>\n

The initiative by President Lazarus Chakwera aims to raise funds for underprivileged university students and survivors of Cyclone Freddy, which devastated parts of Malawi in March 2023.<\/p>\n

Ecobank Malawi\u2019s Executive Director, Weluzani Chingota said the bank is proud to support the noble cause of the tournament, which aligns with Ecobank\u2019s vision of contributing to the economic development and financial integration of Africa.<\/p>\n

He said Ecobank was committed to empowering the youth through education and supporting the vulnerable communities affected by natural disasters.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to be part of this noble charitable initiative, which will make a positive difference in the lives of many Malawians,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a pan-African bank, we believe in giving back to the society and investing in the future of our country and continent at large.<\/p>\n

\u201cEducation is a key driver of social and economic transformation, and we are happy to support the education of needy and deserving students in our universities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also mindful of the plight of our fellow citizens who have suffered the devastating effects of Cyclone Freddy, and we hope that our contribution will help them rebuild their lives and livelihoods,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Presidential Charity Golf, which President Chakwera and Vice-President Saulos Chilima is expected to play all 18 holes, is expected to attract over 130 golfers and has set a target of raising K400 million for the two causes.<\/p>\n

Executive member of the charity initiative\u2019s committee, who is also president for Ladies Golf Union of Malawi, Ulemu Luhanga, thanked Ecobank Malawi for its generous sponsorship and urged other corporate entities and individuals to emulate the bank\u2019s gesture and support the tournament.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are grateful to Ecobank Malawi for their sponsorship, which demonstrates their corporate citizenship and social responsibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appeal to other well-wishers to join us in this noble cause, which will benefit many Malawians who are in need of our assistance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not just a golf tournament, but a national event that will showcase our spirit of solidarity and compassion,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
