“Journalism is not just about writing stories; we also engage in humanitarian efforts where needed,” said Malekezo.
Towera Kasanga Gondwe, Nursing Officer in the labour ward, appreciated the gesture. “Some women come from humble backgrounds and lack basic necessities like clothing and baby supplies. This visit will go a long way in providing support.”
Masita Jere, Community Development Manager for Partners for the North, praised the collaborative effort.
“Our partnership with the media facilitated this meaningful visit to Mzuzu City health facility,” Jere said.
Ruth Longwe, a new mother, commended the initiative. “Thank you, Nyika Media Club and partners, for your kindness. May you continue making a positive impact.”
Apart from Partners for the North, Nyika Properties and Awalanje Investment Construction and Civil Engineering Company supported the initiative in different ways.
