Labour, Skills and Innovation Minister Joel Chigona called for swift distribution of machinery and equipment to technical colleges. Nasawa was among the first institutions, alongside Salima, Soche, Lilongwe, and Namitete—to collect its allocation under the ministry’s equipment rollout

Nasawa is one of the institutions benefiting from Malawi’s Skills for a Vibrant Economy (SAVE) project, funded by the World Bank. A 60-bed girls’ hostel is being constructed on campus, with works expected to run from June 2025 to May 2026.

The Malawi Research and Education Network (MAREN) demonstrated its ongoing commitment to strengthening technical education in Malawi by making a targeted donation of essential ICT equipment to Nasawa Technical College. The support, which included key tools such as printers and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), will enhance the college’s ability to deliver hands-on training, especially within its ICT-related programs. Though modest in scale, the donation is a meaningful contribution toward equipping the institution with practical resources that directly impact student learning experiences.

During the visit, it was observed that Nasawa currently lacks a dedicated domain and official website—factors that continue to limit its reach and visibility. MAREN expressed concern over this gap and reiterated the need for a functional online presence that can effectively showcase the college’s offerings and updates.
