TNM pumps K3m in ‘Highly Underrated’ launch
TNM says it is passionate to use its integrated platforms to uplift youthful innovators and entrepreneurs, not leaving behind promising artists.
TNM chief strategy officer Wilson Kyumba said this on Saturday when his firm bankrolled K3 million for rapper Third Eye’s (Real name Mandela Mwanza) Highly Underrated album launch in Lilongwe.
“We are taking a keen interest in promoting the youth to become innovators, entrepreneurs and leaders. We realise that social transformation and meaningful economic growth is a task that can best be fulfilled by the youth who make up the majority of the population.”
The organisers harnessed the power of music to dial up calls for greater investment in the country’s rapidly bulging youthful population as the world races against the clock to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a renewed agenda to end poverty by 2030.
The catchphrase of the global goals adopted in September 2015 by all United Nations (UN) member States, including Malawi, is ‘leave no one behind’.
True to the tag, UN country director Mia Seppo asked the youth to take it upon themselves to champion the change they want.
“Be a generation that does not leave anyone behind. Be a generation that champions change. Be that change,” she said.
