Chawinga gives back to Zoe Foundation

Malawian Female Soccer star Temwa Chawinga has marked her birthday by giving back to vulnerable children at Zoe Foundation in Lilongwe, donating assorted groceries and K1 million to support the organisation’s work.

The foundation, founded and run by teacher and child welfare advocate Temwani Chilenga, provides care and support to orphaned and vulnerable children at its home in Area 25. The children receive food, shelter and support with their education and other basic needs.

Chawinga’s contribution came as part of her birthday celebrations, with the footballer choosing to share the occasion with children under Chilenga’s care.

Zoe Foundation expressed its gratitude to Chawinga for the gesture, saying her support means a great deal to the organisation and the children.

“Thank you so much for everything you have given us. Your support means so much to us. May God continue blessing and guiding you, Temwa. May God continue blessing your career,” the foundation said in a birthday message to the football star.

The organisation also thanked Chawinga for the K1 million contribution, which came alongside the assorted groceries.

Zoe Foundation was established in 2018 and has grown from Chilenga’s efforts to support children she encountered while working as a teacher. The foundation has previously appealed to well-wishers for food, school fees, learning materials and other necessities.

Chawinga’s birthday gesture therefore brings practical support to a foundation whose work depends heavily on assistance from well-wishers to meet the needs of children in its care.
