“The aim of the big walk is to raise funds to empower youth and elderly in community, social and economic development.
We are planning to provide chicks to the elder people and teach them how to raise chickens as business,” said Muronya
On youth empowerment Muronya said: “We are also planning to buy barbershop and salon equipment so that we can have our own facility as income generating.
The proceeds from the big walk will also help to support needy students in secondary school and institutions of higher learning across the country.”
Muronya has since appealed to the corporate world and all concerned stakeholders to support the initiative. The big walk is expected to start from St Anthony Primary School to Zomba District Council Offices.
