Nutritional Garden Makes Donation to Entembeni old people's Home

Following the success of ZDDT’s support for community based nutritional gardens, the beneficiaries have started assisting their fellow disadvantaged, by donating vegetables and other farm produce.

Sebenzela-Shandira Zimbabwe, as the name suggests, has been one of the successful achievements to be realised by the Trust, as the spirit of self-help and employment creation has materialised.

Against the back drop of the closure of industries followed by the resultant tough economics, orphans, widows and retrenched workers, from ailing local industry, have gathered together in the spirit of enterprise and improved livelihoods.

Ward 15’s Nutritional Garden, recently donated vegetables to the community’s Entembeni Old People’s home that houses more than 50 elderly people.

“These are our fathers who we must take care of. No one will come from other countries or provinces to help them, but we have decided to assist with the little we have to show them that we have them in our prayers and hearts,” said Mrs Sibanda who is the secretary of the garden. choppings

The Entembeni staff thanked the Ward 15 garden community for their gesture and prayed for good fortune and blessings to them for their love.

Further exemplifying the principle of goodwill, Kirimuva Nutritional Gardens, which is based in Ward 19, and one of Bulawayo’s most celebrated project successes, is going to deliver more garden produce, to the same home, before the end of this month.

This was announced by the chairman, Mr Jethro Mangena, during the visit by the “Zimbabwean Gardner “ magazine editor, Kari Olivey, who was accompanied by two visitors from Germany.

ZDDT promotes the values of both self-help and benevolence within the spirit of sharing and assisting the less fortunate.
