Caregivers in Traditional Authorities (T/As) Khongoni, Kalolo and Kabudula have expressed excitement with the government’s decision to introduce K15, 000 monthly stipends, stressing that this is a huge motivation to them.
George Sam Betha, one of the caregivers in T/A Khongoni, said the stipend will help them improve their social and economic livelihoods.

Betha made the remarks over the weekend when Action Aid Malawi (AAM) donated bicycles, tablets and umbrellas to caregivers who had completed their training at Nsalu Teacher Development Centre (TDC).
“We are very grateful to the government. This is way to go in improving the quality of services in ECD centres,” he said.
