He noted that the government’s commitment to sound economic management, fiscal discipline and development reforms continues to strengthen confidence among international partners. He said the Catholic Church has consistently invested in quality education, accessible healthcare, community development programmes and initiatives that uplift vulnerable households across the country. He encouraged individuals, businesses, development partners and well-wishers to support the endowment fund, saying such initiatives promote self-reliance while providing long-term resources for social and development programmes. Mwanamvekha emphasised that achieving Malawi’s development aspirations requires strong partnerships between government, religious institutions, development partners and the private sector.
