In a bid to help those in need of blood in the country’s hospitals, Airtel Malawi Plc staff members from the telecommunications company headquarters yesterday donated blood to the Malawi Bureau of Standards in Lilongwe.
The blood donation drive which is an annual initiative by the company saw more than 30 staff members donating blood.
Airtel Malawi Managing Director Charles Kamoto expressed pride in the company’s contribution to the community.
Kamoto said beyond the immediate impact, Airtel Malawi aims to foster a culture of blood donation in the country. He said the company plans to intensify awareness campaigns and encourage more individuals and organizations to participate in future drives.
“We are deeply committed to the health and well-being of Malawians. This year’s blood donation drive is a testament to our dedication. By coming together, we have saved lives and made a tangible difference. As Airtel Malawi we would like to set a precedence for other entities in the private sector to take up community responsibilities,” said Kamoto.
Malawi faces a persistent blood crisis, with many lives at risk due to insufficient supply. This year’s drive was a crucial step towards mitigating this challenge.
