Lilongwe, 4 December 2025 – In response to the severe hunger crisis caused by poor rainfall during the 2024–2025 farming season, Centenary Bank has donated K5 million through Tiwale Limodzi Foundation to support vulnerable families in Nambuma. The donation reached 70 households, including the elderly and other vulnerable community members, who received maize relief.

Presenting the donation on behalf of the Bank, Marketing & Customer Experience Manager, Linda Nkosi, emphasized that the contribution is part of the Bank’s social mission to transform lives and uplift communities. She handed over the support to Brian Odhiambo, CEO of Tiwale Limodzi Foundation, who expressed gratitude for the timely assistance.

“This contribution comes at a critical time for families affected by drought and poor weather conditions,” Nkosi said. “As a Bank, we are committed to supporting communities in need and making a lasting societal impact.” Tiwale Limodzi Foundation, which means “Let’s Shine Together,” is the social arm of the Catholic Archdiocese of Lilongwe. The Foundation coordinates outreach to marginalized communities, focusing on social development, education, health, and climate-resilient initiatives.

“This support will go a long way in helping the affected households,” Odhiambo said. “We appreciate Centenary Bank for partnering with us to bring relief to those in need and we kindly request those that can still help to please do so.

The maize distribution exercise is part of a broader effort by both the Bank and the Foundation to respond to Malawi’s national hunger disaster, following the President’s declaration earlier this year.
