Investing in talent, opportunity and community to build stronger futures through sport, culture & youth.
NICO Group has committed a K1 billion, three-year sponsorship package to the Netball Association of Malawi (NAM), designed to revitalise the sport and restore the Malawi Queens to international prominence. The sponsorship is structured as follows:
NICO Group contributed K25 million to the Saulos Klaus Chilima Foundation's Charity Fundraising Golf Tournament, supporting the procurement of dialysis and monitoring machines for strategic public hospitals in Malawi.
“Health is one of our key areas of support, and fundraising for dialysis and monitoring machines for public hospitals is an honourable thing to do.”
Dr Kwanele Ngwenya, Group CEO
NICO Group has invested K900 million over three years in Ascent Soccer Academy, creating a clear pathway from grassroots football to professional careers for talented boys and girls.
The sponsorship allowed Ascent Academy teams to make a historic debut at the Gothia Cup in Sweden and the Rey Cup in Iceland, giving young Malawians international exposure.
“Malawi has no shortage of talent, but what is missing is resources to be put behind that talent, and the opportunity and exposure for those young people to turn their natural gifts into professional opportunities.”
