After the phasing out of its project in Chikwina-Mpamba Area Development Programme in Nkhata Bay, World Vision Malawi (WVM) Wednesday handed over six motorcycles to Nkhata Bay District Council.

Nkhata Bay District Programmes Manager for WVM, Elarton Thawani said that they decided to donate the motorcycles to the council as one way of sustaining the project’s interventions in the area.

Thawani cherished cordial relationship between his organization and the council throughout the project’s implementation period.

Receiving the motorcycles, District Commissioner (DC) for Nkhata Bay, Rodgers Newa commended WVM for the donation, saying it would go a long way in addressing mobility challenges faced by extension workers thereby ensuring sustaining of the project’s gains.

Newa added that the gesture was a true reflection of what partnership is all about, saying very few organizations donate their equipment to the council when their projects phase out.

The DC urged the sectors where the motorcycles have been allocated to put them into good use and have a sense of ownership so that they serve the intended purpose.
