Television personality cum model and fashion designer, Chimwemwe Ngugi Buleya, has donated school uniforms to eighteen needy learners at Chambwe Primary School in Lilongwe.
The donation comes under ‘Wala Initiative’ which was established by Buleya who works with MBC TV 2 On the Go, in the capital city.
According to Buleya ‘Wala’ which was launched earlier this year through her clothing brand N. I designs, is aimed at helping out underprivileged primary school students in rural areas with school uniforms.
” I saw a growing number of students going to school without school uniforms because their parents cannot afford to buy one. Knowing that uniform is one of the basic requirements for a student, I thought I should use my fashion designing skills to help in this area ,” she said.
Speaking after making the donation, Buleya said she was excited to have delivered the uniforms and said she will work on finding resources to increase the number of beneficiaries.
She said, “Chambwe Primary School has 88 needy students and so far I have managed to deliver 18 uniforms to 18 students which means we have 70 more students to dress.”
Buleya has since appealed to well wishers to support the initiative inorder to reach out to as many needy students as possible.
