CFAO Mobility Malawi Ltd supports local initiative to enhance mobility for people with disabilities
CFAO Mobility Malawi Ltd has made a significant donation of K2.1 million to support Round Table Blantyre 20’s cycling fundraising tournament, an initiative aimed at raising K10 million to purchase wheelchairs for individuals in need at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH). The event, which seeks to enhance mobility for those with disabilities, will directly benefit nearly 1,000 individuals living with various ailments and disabilities admitted to QECH.
The donation was announced by CFAO Mobility Malawi Ltd’s Multi-Brand Chief Operating Officer, Albert Ngwira, who reiterated the company’s commitment to improving the lives of people with disabilities. “We are dedicated to enhancing mobility for those who require assistance, ensuring they can lead more independent and dignified lives,” Ngwira said, emphasizing the importance of supporting such initiatives.
The funds raised through the cycling tournament will go toward the purchase of much-needed wheelchairs that will be donated to QECH, one of Malawi’s largest referral hospitals. The donation is expected to significantly improve the mobility of patients, many of whom face challenges accessing basic healthcare services due to their physical limitations.
Round Table Blantyre 20, a local charitable organization, has long been involved in various community development efforts, particularly in the areas of healthcare and education. The cycling tournament, which has gained the support of numerous corporate partners, including CFAO Mobility Malawi Ltd, is a testament to the power of collective action in addressing social issues. With a target of raising K10 million, the tournament is set to make a lasting impact on the lives of people who have been battling with mobility issues.
The goal of the initiative is to provide wheelchairs to those who are in urgent need, ensuring they can access essential healthcare services and enjoy a better quality of life. By providing such equipment, the project hopes to empower individuals to lead more independent lives, free from the limitations that often come with physical disabilities.
Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital plays a vital role in providing medical care to people from all walks of life, especially those facing serious health conditions. However, the hospital often grapples with limited resources, making initiatives like the one spearheaded by Round Table Blantyre 20 even more significant. The donation of wheelchairs will help alleviate some of the challenges faced by patients, particularly those who have been unable to move around due to the lack of proper equipment.
By supporting this cause, CFAO Mobility Malawi Ltd has demonstrated its commitment to not only being a leader in the automotive sector but also a responsible corporate citizen that contributes to the wellbeing of Malawian communities. The company’s ongoing support of projects like this showcases its dedication to making a positive impact on society.
As the fundraising tournament draws closer, organizers are optimistic that the remaining funds needed will be raised. The support from CFAO Mobility Malawi Ltd and other corporate partners is expected to have a significant influence on the success of the campaign. With the funds raised, the delivery of wheelchairs to QECH is set to make a tangible difference, helping to improve the lives of individuals who are in desperate need of mobility aids.
The event is not just about raising money, but about raising awareness for the issues faced by people with disabilities in Malawi. It serves as a reminder of the importance of social responsibility and the power of collaboration in making a meaningful difference in society.
In Conclusion, CFAO Mobility Malawi Ltd’s generous K2.1 million donation to Round Table Blantyre 20’s wheelchair fundraising tournament is a commendable step in helping enhance mobility for individuals in need. As the initiative progresses, it is expected that more organizations and individuals will join hands to ensure that many more Malawians with disabilities can live more independent and dignified lives.
