Bishop Alfred Mateyu Chaima blesses first greenhouse in Zomba Diocese

Bishop Alfred Mateyu Chaima blessed the first greenhouse at Namitembo Farms in Zomba on Friday, September 25. Noble Agricultural Technologies handed over the project to the Zomba Diocese to help boost agricultural businesses and support the diocese's strategic plan for a self-supporting Church.

The project cost nearly 10 million Malawi Kwacha, including a $4,000 donation from Living Waters International. Bishop Chaima encouraged residents of Namitembo to care for and secure the greenhouse to help create jobs and reduce poverty in the area. He also requested further support from donors and partners to help the diocese implement large-scale commercial farming on the 78-hectare Namitembo farmland.

Claver Chisanga, the manager for Noble Agricultural Technologies, expressed gratitude to the bishop for the responsibility and pledged continued assistance to the diocese.
