Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On October 27, 2018, Chinese Ambassador Liu Hongyang attended the handover ceremony of the girls' dormitory at Mpinji Community Day Secondary School in Malawi. The dormitory, which worth K30 million and can accomodate 56 girls, was donated by the Embassy. Ben Pirie, Special Adviser to the President of Malawi, and more than 200 students and local villagers also attended. Pirie thanked the Chinese for its generous donation, saying that the dormitory will save girls from walking more than a dozen kilometers a day, effectively protect the safety of girls, and reduce the drop-out rate of girls, for the benefit of the local people. At the handover ceremony, the embassy also donated schoolbags and other school supplies.
