Today, we successfully launched the Mzuzu Socials Football Tournament at Katoto Primary School Ground. The opening match saw Mzuzu Police defeat Immigration Socials with a convincing 3–0 win.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our Guest of Honour, Mr. William Kaweche, who generously donated MK500,000 to support our ongoing operations.

Special thanks to our dedicated team of volunteers, led by Mr. Wilson Chitenthe, whose commitment made today’s event possible—despite the unfavorable weather conditions.

Our team is growing stronger each day!

People First Foundation Hosts Successful Car Wash Fundraiser at ShopRite, Mzuzu

We are happy to share the great success of our car wash fundraising event held at ShopRite in Mzuzu on May 31st, 2025! Our hardworking volunteers did a great job, and we thank them for their support and commitment.

The money we raised will help needy students in primary schools in Mzuzu and other places. Every donation, no matter how small, will help change the life of a child.

We are proud to say that the event went beyond what we expected. We thank everyone who came, helped, or supported us in any way. But our work is not yet done. We still need your help.

Will you join us in helping these children? You can give a small donation or even your time. Every little effort matters. Your support will help give students the things they need to do well in school.

You can still donate if you missed the event. Please contact us.

Together, we can give our children a brighter future.

Leadership

People First Foundation has asked people in Mzuzu to avoid violent demonstrations and choose peaceful ways to solve problems.

The call comes following protests on Tuesday organised by those calling themselves concerned citizens that led to arrests and damage to small businesses.

The foundation’s executive director, Lumbani Kaunda, said demonstrations in the city often end in violence, which scares investors and affects business growth, saying investors need a peaceful and safe environment to operate.

Kaunda added that the city is still developing and needs support, not fear, pointing out that during the protests, many shops remained closed while small business owners, such as mobile money agents, lost their property, which makes it hard for people to recover and support their families.

He also asked leaders and human rights groups to think about how demonstrations affect the public, saying each time there is a protest, schools and shops close, which questions the protection of rights of students, business owners, and other community members.
