Rumphi Secondary School (Rusescho) alumni has donated 21 metal beds to their former school.

In an interview after handover ceremony, one of the alumni, Earnest Luhanga said the team donated the beds to ease shortage of beds at the institution.

“Couple of months ago, we came and donated mattresses. Today, we have donated 21 metal beds out of 90 which we promised to buy.

Chairperson for Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), Edinah Mfune said the donation would create a conducive learning environment for the students.

Head Teacher for the School, Elias James said the school faces a number of challenges and that the donation would enhance performance among the students as they would have a good place to sleep.
