Benevolent business mogul and big-hearted philanthropist Dr. Triephornia Mpinganjira has gifted a three-bedroom brick-fenced house worth K30 million in Chileka township in the outskirts of the commercial city of Blantyre for a 66-year-old retired nurse, Ireen Tembo, whose both legs were amputated on medical grounds and has been struggling to make ends.
Mrs. Mpinganjira, who is the wife of business magnet and founding father of FDH Holdings Group and Ekhaya Foods, Dr. Thompson Mpinganjira, bought the house for Ms. Tembo through Malawi University of Science and Technology (Must) vice-chancellor Professor Address Malata and the National Organisation of Nurses and Midwives of Malawi.
Mpinganjira, who owns Diplomats Car Rentals, said: “I decided to help the lady after Professor Malata informed me about the plight of a hardworking retired lady in her sixties, and I thought I could do something to her her.”
Added Mrs. Mpinganjira: “I was really touched when I heard about her story and I felt obliged to help as she is one of those people who dedicat their lives serving others. As they say, a good turn deserve another, ” she narrates.
She has since relocated to her new home from a dilapidated rented house in Manase Township, Blantyre.
This donation is the latest in a series of her and her family’s humanitarian and philantropic acts towards the poor and the disadvantaged Malawians in the country.
Recently, she and her family has donated millions of Kwachas towards humanitarian causes to Red Cross, Lions Club and individuals.
The Mpinganjira’ family’s humanitarian and charitable efforts have made a significant impact on the lives of many Malawians.
It is, therefore, safe to say that the Mpinganjira’s family is most generous and philanthropic in the country as they are always sharing what they have with others.
The latest donation to the Blantyre-based retired nurse cements the Mpinganjira family’s benevolent demeanor in helping others and serving humanity in general.
Tembo, who retired in 2007 after working for various hospitals including Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre, says she is very grateful for the life-changing support.
She said with emotions as tears of joy trickle down her cheeks: ” Words fail me. I don’t know what to say. I am overwhelmed with happiness. I cannot thank Mrs. Mpinganjira enough. All I can do is but pray to God to continue blessing her and protect her.
“May she live long. She is an angel in human form. I will eternally be grateful to her.”
“I cannot thank Dr. TRIEPHORNIA Mpinganjira enough.”
