Save the Children gives partners K809m used assets

 Save the Children Malawi on Friday presented K809 million-worth of pre-owned assets to its implementing partners to strengthen their capacities to deliver their programmes.

The items, including off-road vehicles, laptop computers, furniture and other office equipment, were donated to Blantyre and Livingstonia Synods of the CCAP, Mwanza District Council and the Malawi Human Rights Commission  

through the Securing Children’s Rights through Education and Protection (Screp) programme.

Save the Children Malawi Screp Project team leader Kenneth Wala said the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation funded the project and they decided to distribute the assets to partners to improve their capacities.

“The aim is to help partners build their capacity in the way they do their business to sustain the interventions that we built,” he said  

 Speaking on behalf of the beneficiaries, Blantyre CCAP Synod deputy general secretary the Reverend Baxton Maulidi thanked Save the Children Malawi for the assets, saying they will support their programme interventions.

He said: “As partners and beneficiaries, we are grateful to have received the assets from Save the Children. We are very committed to deliver as a church, and implementing partners are supposed to lead by example. We promise to monitor and protect the assets.”
