Founder and overseer of Powerhouse International Church Reverend Dr. Clement Nkhoma is through Melaka company which he founded with his wife Nancy in the year providing on the market various sanitary materials for home and industrial use.
Through Melaka, Nkhoma says they are not just meeting the tag that cleanliness is next to Godliness, but also answering to the human need for people to be in clean spaces to prevent infections that may arise in unclean conditions.
“We manufacture a large range of high-quality products, for use in the home, office, or industrial market,” said Dr. Nkhoma, adding that the company has over 21 products on the shelf for peoples use. Our products include car shampoo, window cleaner, dashboard, and tyre cleaner. We also have soap, bath jell, liquid soap, foam bath, hair shampoo, car shampoo, washing powder, and many more products,” said Nkhoma
He says that Melaka is meanwhile striving to be a household cleaning name in the world, manufactures its products using locally available raw materials.
“We have a team of part-time employees that have been trained for months in manufacturing but as the company grows we will employ more people to run the business,” Nkhoma said.
The two started the manufacturing business after being inspired by Kondwani Kachamba Ngwira, a local trainer and motivational speaker in manufacturing and entrepreneurship.
“We had a great harvest of tomatoes and cabbage that we sold and because of Kondwani Kachamba Ngwira, it inspired us to study and watch videos a lot. We bought manuals from abroad then my wife started with soap but she failed so many times but did not give up. We always had rejects everywhere. Then she mastered it. I must say she could have given up but she did not,” narrates Nkhoma in a story that is motivation given Malawi’s long quests for more industrialization.
