Neno District Covid-19 Relief Fund, a grouping of communities and people working or living in Neno District, through a WhatsApp Group, managed to raise funds and donated Ambulance tyres, tubes and gutters to Neno District Hospital worth MK 1.2 million.

A member of the group, Russel Msiska, said it was created to respond and mobilise funds after being moved by the degree at which Covid-19 affected Neno district.

He emphasized that their mandate to assist goes beyond Covid-19.

He said this while handing over the donation to Neno District Health Office.
