Mulhako wa Alhomwe Cultural grouping has received K47 Million from the Cultural Emergency Response Fund to assist them in various projects.
According to Chief Executive Officer of Mlakho wa Alhomwe, Pius Mvenya Jnr, the funding will help them to embark on the restoration of Lhomwe Tangible and Intangible Cultural Heritage in the post-Cyclone Freddy disaster period.
“We lost a lot of items bearing significant cultural value which we feel we need to restore. We, therefore, sent out proposals to various organisations to help us with that bid. Gladly the Cultural Emergency Response Fund came to our rescue and we are thankful,” said Myenya.
Mulhako wa Alhomwe is a cultural grouping which was established by the Late Malawi President, Prof. Bingu wa Mutharika some years ago with an aim of bringing all the Lhomwes together.
