THE upcoming fund – raising luncheon for Ingutsheni Central Hospital, scheduled for March 20 in Bulawayo, is open to all, with the business community and other stakeholders encouraged to take part and embrace the opportunity to contribute to corporate social responsibility.
The luncheon, to be graced by President Mnangagwa, seeks to raise US$5 million for the refurbishment of the central hospital.
Proceeds from the event will also be channelled towards the construction of a state-of-the-art drug and substance abuse rehabilitation centre at the referral centre.
Permanent Secretary in the Office of the Vice President, Dr Kembo Mohadi, Dr Benson Martins Dube, said the luncheon is inclusive and everyone is invited.
The event is being organised by the Office of the Vice President Dr Kembo Mohadi, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Child Care.
“To accommodate everyone and leave no one and no place behind, we have extended our tables to include Category D ($500), Category E ($200) and Category ($100),” he said.
“So, everyone is invited to participate in this fundraising event. Let us be part of this grand project.
“Let us make the 20th of March the day to reckon with in realising the underprivileged and the mental care in Zimbabwe. So, everyone is invited to participate in this fundraising event.”
Dr Dube said preparations for the event were progressing well, with various well-wishers already pledging their support.
“The progress seems to be doing well and we look forward to a very successful event. May all those who received invites respond accordingly,” he said.
“Also, even those that may have been missed by the invitations, please feel very invited and contribute towards this just cause. Use your corporate responsibility for this national programme.”
He said those willing to participate could channel their contributions directly to the referral hospital.
“Please check the press for more details. Let us make the 20th of March a day to reckon with in realising the underprivileged and the mental care in Zimbabwe.”
