Ekwendeni Resource Netball team, the reigning champions of the 2023 Salima Sugar Netball League at the regional level, recently received a timely financial boost from the Church of Scotland Geneva. The church generously contributed K3.4 million to support the team’s transportation, accommodation, and food expenses as they prepare for the Salima Sugar Netball League national finals.
Shupo Kumwenda, the supervisor of Ekwendeni Resource Center, expressed his delight and gratitude for this much-needed financial support. He emphasized that the timing of the contribution was impeccable, as the team had faced financial challenges.
