The association also furnished the hall with 261 chairs.
Maganga Maganga, chairperson for Tea and Coffee Merchants Association, said this is one way of giving back to the community and that through the charity fund, K5.5 million (about US$36 000) was raised and is funding 13 projects around the country.
He said he was delighted with the effort that the Parents and Teachers Association (PTA) at Mpinji put into building the hall.
Mpinji PTA chairperson Rodney Kambwiri expressed gratitude to the charity fund for the hall which, he said, is the first at the tea estates. He also made an appeal for a laboratory to be built at the school and laboratory equipment.
Some of the funds were used to pay fees for orphans at Chombo Mission Children’s Home for two years, building a guardian shelter and toilets at Mulanje District Hospital and building a school block at Kawalazi Tea Estate in Nkhata Bay.
