Nkhotakota, May 30, Mana: The Tongole Foundation on Thursday donated 75 desks, valued at K14 million, to Mwalawatongele Primary School as part of its corporate social responsibility to schools around the Nkhotakota Wildlife Reserve in the district.

Speaking during the handover ceremony, Tongole Foundation's Country Director, Bentry Kalanga, said the organization remains committed to supporting the education sector in the country.

"The education sector is a true catalyst for the country's meaningful development and we will continue supporting it because quality education can only be achieved with such support,” said Kalanga.

Kalanga has since urged the school to ensure that the donated desks are taken care of.
