Sheikh Jassim Al Ainati, director general of the Kuwaiti Horizons Charity Society made the pledge during a week-long Malawi visit, inspecting the Muslim Association of Malawi (MAM) projects .
The hospital will be built near MAM’s masjid (mosque) built at Ntaja in Machinga, improving local healthcare.
He said the health facility will be built close to a masjid (mosque) which MAM constructed at Ntaja in Machinga.
“Once the hospital is constructed, people in the area and other surrounding areas will be able to access health services,” Sheikh Ainati said.
Sheikh Ainati praised MAM’s leadership and vowed continued support for community projects.
MAM national chairman, Sheikh Idrisa Muhammad welcomed the projects, saying they will boost healthcare and education, empowering Malawians through skill development and improved services. He said the projects will complement government efforts in serving people.
“This is a very welcome development because health services will transform in Machinga because patients will be provided with top-notch health services,” Sheikh Muhammad projected.
He added: “On the part of the community technical college which will be constructed in Mangochi, it will play a vital role in promoting self-reliance amongst the youths in Mangochi and the surrounding areas after acquiring vocational skills.”
Sheikh Muhammad prayed for continued partnership with Sheikh Ainati so numerous people centred projects would be implemented for the betterment of Muslims in particular and other people in the country.
The Kuwaiti Horizons Charity Society has previously built mosques, distributed relief food and ran goat pass-on programs through MAM across Malawi.
